lyrics

Out in the hills near the county line
We had our place to go
We were teenagers growing up fast
But - being out there time slowed
Friends and buddies and girls so fine
It don’t seem that long ago
We were all kids from somewhere
Out on Firetower Road

It could have been most any county – USA
Our time to learn and grow
Maybe we were scared that nobody cared
And that’s why the beer and whiskey flowed
Fast cars and trucks racing out of town
We were driving ‘em like a pro
We were all kids from somewhere
Out on Firetower Road

On Firetower Road we could see for miles
That’s why they made it that way
In the dry season – we knew with good reason
It wasn’t the place to stay
On Firetower Road and all around
Let it rain – everyone would pray
Believe it or not – she was so hot
We were on fire everyday
(instru)
We were afraid our lives would explode out on Firetower road

Out in the hills near the county line
We had our place to go
We were getting ready for the rest of our lives
A future we would try to decode
We were not the most popular
But James Dean was a legend – you know
We were all kids from somewhere
Out on Firetower Road

-Chorus repeat -
Out in the hills near the county line
We had our place to go
Maybe we were needing someone
And hoping it never showed
We were all kids from somewhere - Out on Firetower Road
We were all kids from somewhere - Out on Firetower Road
