lyrics

They call it endless summer, but it’s the worst I’ve ever had
I’ve been huffing gasoline in by best friend’s trans am
Life in this town ain’t as easy as it seems
It eats up your whole heart and shits away your dreams
I can hardly think about it, you know it only brings me down
I’ve been working scrubbing dishes at the diner downtown
I’m saving up my money, gonna take a greyhound
Load my back with what is needed, and I’ll never settle down
“Come on, baby” say the visions in my head
Another night in this town and I’ll be the walking dead
Maybe my dreams turn to burdens instead,
But I’m only 17, I’m headed for the sun, and I’m getting out of here while I’m young enough to run
They’re all masters with your roots down and all shadows when in flight
I’ll make very breath a prayer, make every word a fight
Ignore every sign of failure even though I’m sure I might
I’m 17 so please let’s blow this town tonight
“Come on, baby” say the visions in my head
Another night in this town and I’ll be the walking dead
Maybe my dreams turn to burdens instead,
But I’m only 17, I’m headed for the sun, and I’m getting out of here while I’m young enough to run
I’ll roam this whole world over ‘til the angels take me home
The only things that matter are the ones you do alone
My journey will be endless, my voice will shake your bones
Or at least I’ll have a story this world has never known
“Come on, baby” say the visions in my head
Another night in this town and I’ll be the walking dead
Maybe my dreams turn to burdens instead
But I’m only 17, I’m headed for the sun, and I’m getting out of here while I’m young enough to run

The Yawpers Boulder, Colorado

The Yawpers formed 2011 when guitarist Jesse Parmet and singer/guitarist Nate Cook played together at the only speakeasy in Boulder, CO. In August 2018, the band announced that Alex Koshak would be stepping in on drums as they headed into the studio to record their next album. The band’s name is a nod to Walt Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass”: “I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world. ... more
