The Gaslight Anthem
Old White Lincoln
[Intro]
Out of the car, longhair!
Yeah

[Verse 1]
If I could write
I'd tell you how much I've missed these nights
Where we'd dig around the bones
And try to find peace and patches for the holes
I lit a cigarette on a parking meter
Corner boys told her how I was dyin' to meet her
Like a prayer I said on a dead man's knee
You drove up like a parade

[Chorus]
You and your high-top sneakers and your sailor tattoos
And your old fifty-five that you drove through the roof
Of the sky up above these indifferent stars
While you just kept coming apart
You and your high-top sneakers and your sailor tattoos
And your old fifty-five that you drove through the roof
Of the sky up above these indifferent stars
While you just kept coming apart straight in my arms

[Post-Chorus]
Fell straight in my arms
[Verse 2]
And I miss it sometimes
Shakin' like a leaf on the corner of Vine
But I heard it's alright
The radio spoke to a good friend of mine
And I can feel it comin' up as the night's gettin' warm
Saw your summer dress hangin' on the back of the lawn
Like a dream I remember from an easier time
With the top rolled down on a Saturday night

[Chorus]
You and your high-top sneakers and your sailor tattoos
And your old fifty-five that you drove through the roof
Of the sky up above these indifferent stars
While you just kept coming apart
You and your high-top sneakers and your sailor tattoos
And your old fifty-five that you drove through the roof
Of the sky up above these indifferent stars
While you just kept coming apart right in my arms

[Post-Chorus]
Right in my arms

[Bridge]
And I always dreamed
Of classic cars and movie screens
And tryin' to find
Some way to be redeemed
Bring a dollar with you, baby
In the cold, cold ground
[Chorus]
You and your high-top sneakers and your sailor tattoos
And your old fifty-five that you drove through the roof
Of the sky up above these indifferent stars
While you just kept coming apart
You and your high-top sneakers and your sailor tattoos
And your old fifty-five that you drove through the roof
Of the sky up above these indifferent stars
While you just kept coming apart, you fell straight in my arms

[Post-Chorus]
You fell straight in my arms
