lyrics

We lit fires off the back of a school bus
Throwing  matches out the window
watching  leaves go up 
We'd get off at the next stop knock on the door 
We'd get paid  for putting 'em out 
A few dollars  a piece lungs full of smoke 
Only after  a rain only when we were  broke 
It never got outta hand we stuck to the plan 
Till somebody figured us out  
It wasn't honest work 
I know that now 
But sometimes it was all you  could do in that town 
To get a hold  of a bottle And pass  it around 
on the weekend with your friends by the river 
Weaving home on our  bikes 
Past that old  Sunday  crowd 
the eyes of someone else's god starring us down 
It was hard to escape All the guilt we had  found 
but it faded the farther we'd ride 
We were working  on finding our place in this town 
When we didn't  fit  in we found our  own way around
 And the whole time we wondered  what was going down
 Out there  on the other side  
It wasn't honest  work 
we  knew that then
But sometimesall you can do  is pretend 
That you are  needed  for something and we needed  a win
 On the weekend with our  friends by the river
When there's nothing to do  
to make your  dreams come true 
You find a way to deliver  
When there's  nothing to say and  it's hell anyway 
You go lookin' For your own pot of silver 
At the of the day  When you cant stand  to stay 
You can light a fire  and meet your  friends by the river
