I remember you throwing peanuts at some car off across the highway*
Saying "it's the principal that stands,"
As we drove across what seemed like an ocean then
And it was overdue when you told me at a truck stop off in nowhere
How you struggle with your past
I know you do
And I remember you told me how you thought one's father defines one's country
And "what if it was true, what they say about how your mother defines your home?"
And you can switch the parts up all you like
But what you were talking about was justice
And I remember you said you fight where you stand
You said "it's all or nothing, kid. if it's in your backyard, it's in your courthouse,"
And you said "it's all or nothing, kid. you can't have the half without the whole
And if you never dream of something bigger, you'll never get out from where you are."
And I remember you said you fight where you stand
