[Intro]
Dreams of life on top
No one to look to
People, they come and go
My life is a drive-through

[Chorus x2]
A place beyond the pines
A road that doesn't shine
Just the story of you and I

[Verse]
It's twelve o'clock, high noon
Eastwood waistband for the dark tunes
And I ain't wanna kill, but I just learned the truth
Gained clarity, severity of all the proof
That you've been making bets that your name can't cash
Selling dreams, you pay, but your rent's still due
You might still be dressed like the boys in blue
Pin the tail, motherfucker, I ain't fuckin' with you

[Chorus x2]
A place beyond the pines
A road that doesn't shine
Just the story of you and I

[Bridge, x2]
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
I swear
What do you want from me?
Here we are, standing face-to-face

[Chorus x2]
A place beyond the pines
A road that doesn't shine
Just the story of you and I
