Rocky Votolato Lyrics
"Before You Were Born"

If I asked real sweet, would you take a ride with me?
Drive down streets that no one else has ever seen
Red bucket seats with a stereo from 1953

I knew you before you were born
And I've seen an ending worth waiting for
Under blankets and maps to keep us warm

Mile markers made out of rows of white birch trees
Lead me to black velvet dressed in silver rings
Just like you and me some things are meant to be

I knew you before you were born
And I've seen an ending worth waiting for
Under blankets and maps to keep us warm, keep us warm

The paper moon in the tree branch blue sky
Is cold and brittle on an October night
Dead weather vines that grew on concrete steam lamp lights

I knew you before you were born
And I've seen an ending worth waiting for
Under blankets and maps to keep us warm, keep us warm
Keep us warm, keep us warm
