[Verse 1]
She's hot and heavy and heaven for the weekend
She's preaching everything that I want to believe in
So we're hopeless and holding onto something golden
We read in S.E. Hinton but know ain't ever showing, so we're
Slicking our hair back and acting like the tough kids
From the side of town that all our friends abandoned
While bad ideas came from the good ideas that we ignore
Would have been better off if we just stayed at home
So next time we're just staying home
[Chorus]
So we've been holding on to something that we
Know ain't ever really coming
So were heading out west
To see the parts of the country that we don't know
Then we lost it all at the casino
The girls here they can't even really drink
They never ever take their little eyes off of me
They're all Montreal bound, mostly around 18
They fit their frames the way pictures hang
Just fighting for some room in the scenery
It's sad and it's strange and it's kinda s**y
[Verse 2]
She walks up to me, both of her eyes closed
Whispers in my ear she doesn't want to spend the night alone
So I look around, not looking all that interested
Two beers in my hand and she lights up a cigarette
Well I don't need her, and I know she don't need me
I see myself with girls across the country
But the night starts getting heavy
When the pills start kicking in
The crowd starts looking like a maze
The situation starts to spin
And she goes home with him
[Chorus]
So we've been holding on to something that we
Know ain't ever really coming
So were heading out west
To see the parts of the country that we don't know
Then we lost it all at the casino
The girls here they can't even really drink
They never ever take their little eyes off of me
They're all Montreal bound, mostly around 18
They fit their frames the way pictures hang
Just fighting for some room in the scenery
It's sad and it's strange and it's kinda s**y
[Bridge]
She's my heaven for the weekend
She's my heaven for the weekend
She's my heaven for the weekend
But she's hell the rest of the week
[Chorus]
So we've been holding on to something that we
Know ain't ever really coming
So were heading out west
To see the parts of the country that we don't know
Then we lost it all at the casino
The girls here they can't even really drink
They never ever take their little eyes off of me
They're all Montreal bound, mostly around 18
They fit their frames the way pictures hang
Just fighting for some room in the scenery
[Outro]
And I swear they don't have any of the dirt they
Think they do on me
