about

I wrote this for Michael Monroe in 2022 or maybe 2021. We were talking about releasing a new single for his upcoming documentary and so I drew inspiration from the early days of Hanoi Rocks for the lyrics. This one didn't really strike a chord with some of the other guys in the band, perhaps because it's a little too 'pop', but I still really like it. I ended up changing some lyrics to make it more from my point of view but this is essentially the same song that I demoed back then.

lyrics

You left home at 17
Thought you had it all worked out
Cold and tired and much too wired to notice
Just kids and broken dreams
Gotta get out of this town
And leave ‘em chokin’ on the lies they sold us

It ain’t a mystery
Those days were hard and loud
And it’s all coming back to me now

We ran this road together
But you can’t stay young forever
When the last word’s sung
Well you can’t stay young forever

The road bends, the pages turn
Some walk and they don’t come back
But everybody’s ticket takes ‘em somewhere
So sit back and watch it burn
Or build it up and paint it black
You never really know until you get there

It ain’t a mystery
Those days were hard and loud
And it’s all coming back to me now

We ran this road together
But you can’t stay young forever
When the last word’s sung
Well you can’t stay young forever

I ain’t looking in the rearview mirror
‘Cause this road is long
20/20 and I see things clearer
This yellow line keeps moving on

We ran this road together
But you can’t stay young forever
When the last word’s sung
Well you can’t stay young forever
