about

written by Evan Ritchie

lyrics

i saw you standing there, forever ago
on a warm summer night, in a sunset glow
and i fell into the water
and i fell for your dark eyed charms

it was a beautiful night and over too soon
and i never guessed, by the light of that moon
i would ask for your hand
i would hold you and cause you harm


i was James Dean in my olds 88
you were Natalie Wood waiting at the gate

and the two of us tried to drive the night away

but it was never here to stay

it was many years later on another dark night
when we sat together in the restaurant light
and you fell for me
and you never judged my past

time kept passing, we were hand in hand
kept the fire burning, far across the land
and i asked you to love me
and and we thought it just might last

i was James Dean in my olds 88
you were Natalie Wood waiting at the gate
and the two of us tried to drive the night away
but it was never here to stay


but time kept passing and the changes came

and trust got twisted and we passed the blame
and the fire that burned
couldn't last through the pouring rain

and we talked about why and how and when
where we were going and where we had been
and the fire grew dim
in the light of the anger and pain

i was James Dean in my olds 88
you were Natalie Wood waiting at the gate
and the two of us tried to drive the night away
but it was never here to stay

i drove through the desert, i drove through the sand
i thought i'd drive to the ends of the earth and the land
but the cliffs in between
have a way of stopping your drive

and we looked at each other, no stars in our eyes
and wondered how all the love had died
and i drove away
hardly feeling alive

there's a junkyard around my Olds 88
but Natalie Wood says she'll always wait
she says "come on, lets drive that way again"
but i don't think i can
