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
