Lyrics

[00:18.13] Running down around the towns along the shore
[00:25.84] When I was sixteen and on my own
[00:33.32] No, I couldn't tell you what the hell those brakes were for
[00:41.71] I was just trying to hear my song
[00:56.90] Jimmy found his own sweet sound and won that free guitar
[01:05.33] We'd all get in the van and play
[01:12.34] Life became the paradox, the bear, the rouge et noir
[01:20.69] And the stretch of road running to L.A.
[01:28.84] Pages turning
[01:31.90] Pages we were years from learning
[01:36.22] Straight into the night our hearts were flung
[01:42.62] Better bring your own redemption when you come
[01:50.56] To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
[02:15.27] All the world was shining from those hills
[02:23.65] The stars above and the lights below
[02:31.32] Among those there to test their fortunes and their wills
[02:39.32] I lost track of the score long ago
[02:47.35] Pages turning
[02:50.46] Pages we were years from learning
[02:54.59] Straight into the night our hearts were flung
[03:01.03] Better bring your own redemption when you come
[03:08.98] To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
[03:18.34] Childhood comes for me at night
[03:26.30] Voices of my friends
[03:34.26] Your face bathing me in light
[03:42.16] Hope that never ends
[04:21.44] Pages turning
[04:24.31] Pages torn and pages burning
[04:29.55] Faded pages, open in the sun
[04:35.18] Better bring your own redemption when you come
[04:43.13] To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
[04:50.98] Better bring your own redemption when you come
[04:58.63] To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
