Lyrics

Overgrown
that's the state I'm in
Yeah, the weeds are taller
than they've ever been
And, the burnt out lights
have lost their shine
The only light that's left
Comes from the highway signs

And so it seems
All our dreams now
have slowly turned to rust
Just like
that old car out in the yard
Well I guess
we've lost sight of all
the things that make us smile
You've got to admit
Its been awhile

The paints worn
and the colors fade
There's an old Buick
that we got on trade
The eaves are hollow
there's a nest of birds
When the neighbors argue
you can hear every word

And so it seems
All our dreams now
have slowly turned to rust
Just like
that old car out in the yard
Well I guess
we've lost sight of all
the things that make us smile
You've got to admit
Its been awhile

Overgrown
that's the state we're in
