We'd stay up all night
On Gardner Avenue
Debating all the issues of the day
No agenda, not yet talking heads
Round-and-round until we'd forget where it was that we began
Some mornings you would win, some mornings left your ego bruised
But, what I wouldn't give
For the hope I used to find
In a case of Lion's Head
And folks of different minds
Because though we did not share opinions
We shared that American ideal
Of friends made over arguments and an early morning buzz
I need an early morning buzz
I learned the hard way
That a simple truth told quietly
Always works better than a rant
Somewhere along the line
We seem to have forgotten
The value in sometimes being wrong.
Some days you win, some days leave your ego bruised
But, what I wouldn't give
For the hope I used to find
In a case of Lion's Head
And folks of different minds
Because though we did not share opinions
We shared that American ideal
Of friends made over arguments and an early morning buzz
I need an early morning buzz
There's hope behind the bluster
Because though Main Street may not sell
It's built on folks like you and me
So when we're having trouble seeing the human for the politics
Gotta find a better way to disagree
Some mornings you would win, some mornings left your ego bruised
But, what I wouldn't give
For the hope I used to find
In a case of Lion's Head
And folks of different minds
Because though we did not share opinions
We shared that American ideal
Of friends made over arguments and an early morning buzz
I need an early morning buzz
But, what I wouldn't give
For the hope I used to find
In a case of Lion's Head
And folks of different minds
Because though we did not share opinions
We shared that American ideal
Of friends made over arguments and an early morning buzz
I need an early morning buzz
