Borrowed Summer
Lyrics
Verse 1
Adam had a car we called the Mazdalac
Sunburnt paint, stickers on the hatch
CD wallet with our favorite bands
Friends pile in, no map, no plans
Prechorus 1
Fuel gauge lying but we didn’t care
Breathing in the evening and the summer air
Chorus 1
Mazdalac rolling through the Idaho night
Engine revving and the world was right
Kings of nowhere, turn it up loud
Borrowed summer, chase the sound
Everything changes, nothing lasts
But damn we were legends in the Mazdalac
Verse 2
Chewing Copenhagen from the gas station
Now my head is pounding and my pulse is racin’
Chance said brotha better take it slow
Now I’m puking out the window down the mountain road
Prechorus 2
Later at the campfire, feeling alright
Pay no attention to the check engine light
Chorus 2
Mazdalac rolling through the Idaho night
Engine humming and the future was bright
Kings of nowhere, turn it up loud
Borrowed summer, chase the sound
Everything changes, nothing lasts
But damn we were legends in the Mazdalac
Bridge
One day we’d leave those gravel roads behind
For distant shores and different lives
But those blown speakers and that cracked dash light
Were the chariot carrying us to paradise
You can’t step in the same river twice
Chorus 3
Mazdalac rolling through the Idaho night
Engine dying and the cold wind bites
Kings of nowhere, turn it up loud
Fading summer, chase the sound
Everything changes, nothing lasts
But I won’t forget the legend of the Mazdalac
Outro
Ooh Mazdalac
Ooh Rolling back
Ooh Idaho night
Campfire and Keystone Light
