Back of the Van

Verse 1

Clean guitar and voice

Got a jet with my name on the side and a pilot named SteveGot a guy to hold my phone and a guy who holds his keysBut I swear the best I ever slept was on an amp in TennesseeFive of us and one cheeseburger, splitting it in fifths for freeDanny driving with his knee

Pre-Chorus

Now the seats are all leatherAnd nobody here knows me

Chorus

Take me back to the back of the vanGas station sushi, no planFive of us and a broken heaterSinging louder than the bandNobody knew who we wereDidn't need them toTake me back to the back of the vanThat's the only place I'm true

Verse 2

Danny's got a kid and a mortgage, sends me pictures every weekMarco sells insurance now, still says I owe him half a beerEvery room I walk in's full of people saying what I want to hearThey were the only ones who'd tell me when my songs were weak

Pre-Chorus

Now the seats are all leatherAnd nobody here knows me

Chorus

808s and drums enter

Take me back to the back of the vanGas station sushi, no planFive of us and a broken heaterSinging louder than the bandNobody knew who we wereDidn't need them toTake me back to the back of the vanThat's the only place I'm true

Bridge

Guitar drops out, voice alone

I'd give back every gold recordFor one more flat tire with you

Final Chorus

Full band, voice cracking into a yelp

Take me back to the back of the vanGas station sushi, no planFive of us and a broken heaterSinging louder than the bandNobody knew who we wereDidn't need them toTake me back to the back of the vanThat's the only place I'm true
