Strip Mall Parking Lots (Acoustic Version)

Smoking cigarettes in a strip mall parking lot.
There's nothing much to do around here but hang out.
Isn't that just like everywhere else?
There's a war veteran standing by the interstate on-ramp.
Yeah, he's asking for a ride, he's hoping for a kickdown
Anything you can spare to get, helps!

And as the Southwest-Florida sun sets.
The sky is painted hues of pink and orange!
Our directions are calling
Life is waiting to be ruined!

City cops come down and they bust up the party.
We go to a diner, we drink bitter black coffee
Gas station billboard reads three-forty-nine a gallon!
You are coming down from the high
Was starting to sober up
Boys crushing on girls crushing on girls
Into the Southwest-Florida morning

We are still young!

And as the Southwest-Florida sun sets.
The sky is painted hues of pink and orange!
Our directions are calling
Life is waiting to be ruined!

Life is waiting to be ruined!!!
