Vanishing

In the night time, the thing 
To do was drive around 
The car wash then back uptown and
Around the bend
Mmm
Got so bad the mayor made a rule
Only 1 time around the bend
3 times around the car wash 
Then you had to park 
Most likely the car wash was the place to be 
Mmm
That was the night time thing to do 
In my small town 

Mmm remember walking around town 
Looking at all the classic cars and trucks 
Then you have the run down shit 
People ain’t care what they had
they were just out having fun
Mmmm remember saying to myself
One day I’ll get to do the same 

Over the years growing up
People started vanishing
Could still remember the sound 
Of their cars 
You say oh shit that’s what’s his name 
But what’s his name is long and gone 
Remember faces of people 
Mm just loving life 
Mmm people start vanishing 
You say oh shit that’s what his and her name mm but they long gone 

Once a night life full of daredevils 
To the devil destroying the town 
So many young lives vanished 
From a small town 
As a young kid thinking 
One day imma have my turn 
Your turn is a nice slow turn around 
The bend that took so many young kids lives
Crosses with the names of the young ones 
That lost their lives of a reminder to the ones 
That still have theirs 
Before you approach take your time 
Before you loose your time and vanish
A face in the crowd 
Vanished in the same appearance every day you left this world in 

Over the years growing up
People started vanishing
Could still remember the sound 
Of their cars 
You say oh shit that’s what’s his name 
But what’s his name is long and gone 
Remember faces of people 
Mm just loving life 
Mmm people start vanishing 
You say oh shit that’s what his and her name mm but they long gone 

Long, long, gone 
Oooh long gone
