The 99

from Fade to Buzz by Rule of Thumb

/

lyrics

the gravel driveway in front is full
by eleven everybody’s here
there’s never too much in the way of light
a gray blanket of an atmosphere

i like the table in the back that has
the map of california under glass
she lets me hold her fingers
trace the miles
i make it sound like heaven might

meet me where the 99
meets the 5, down by wheeler ridge
rest stop fifteen miles and i
catch my breath

she’s not the first one to point it out
local legend says ‘the earth will move!’
and in the end it’s not what she thought
or what she said or what she did
but why the earth decided to twist and break
you know the feeling, for heaven’s sake

doesn’t everybody?
