Air in my lungs
'Till the road begins
As the last of the bugs
Leave their homes again
And I'm splitting the road down the middle
For a minute the world seems so simple
Feel the rush of my blood
I'm seventeen again
I am not scared of death
I've got dreams again
It's just me and the curve of the valley
There is meaning on earth, I am happy
Oh
Oh
Past Alger Brook Road
I'm over the bridge
A minute from home but I feel so far from it
The death of my dog
The stretch of my skin
It's all washing over me
I'm angry again
The things that I lost here
The people I knew
They got me surrounded
For a mile or two
The cars in reverse
I'm gripping the wheel
I'm back between villages
And everything's still
'Till the road begins
As the last of the bugs
Leave their homes again
And I'm splitting the road down the middle
For a minute the world seems so simple
Feel the rush of my blood
I'm seventeen again
I am not scared of death
I've got dreams again
It's just me and the curve of the valley
There is meaning on earth, I am happy
Oh
Oh
Past Alger Brook Road
I'm over the bridge
A minute from home but I feel so far from it
The death of my dog
The stretch of my skin

I'm angry again
The things that I lost here
The people I knew
They got me surrounded
For a mile or two
The cars in reverse
I'm gripping the wheel
I'm back between villages
And everything's still

The extended version adds something that sounds like interviews of longtime residents of his hometown. Then these lyrics:
OK, I had to hear it again, so I went to YouTube and found this "extended" version, which I think is even better. An extra verse and a rockin' ending.
Thanks once again to RP, for introducing me to these hidden gems which I would probably not have found otherwise.

The extended version adds something that sounds like interviews of longtime residents of his hometown. Then these lyrics:
The things that I lost here
The people I knew
They got me surrounded
For a mile or two
A left at the graveyard
I’m driving past ghosts
Their arms are extended
My eyes start to close
The car’s in reverse
I’m gripping the wheel
I’m back between villages
And everything’s still
The people I knew
They got me surrounded
For a mile or two
A left at the graveyard
I’m driving past ghosts
Their arms are extended
My eyes start to close
The car’s in reverse
I’m gripping the wheel
I’m back between villages
And everything’s still
Nice tune.
Wow, first time hearing this.
Magnificent Melancholy. Love it.

Humble, grateful, artist on an amazing trajectory. Glad to have been listening to this songwriters journey!
Just the pups on the cover make me want to like him. Who's a good boy?
How great to discover Noah Kahan.
Its Flannel season.
Its Flannel season.
brain fried from inventory at work, but his voice at the beginning seems familiar in a Brit band style for some reason. Someone a bit more upbeat, though.
Thank you William, Alana and the whole crew for presenting such a gem for our perusal.
Great album cover.
Life is so much better with you at the musical helm. Live long and prosper.
