Baby, we were just a masterpiece

Up there on the wall for all to see

Once you've been framed,

you can't get out

Who's brave enough to take it down?

Who's fool enough to lose the crown?

Like nothin' ever happened
[Verse 2]

Baby, we were just a rodeo

Shinin' up our buckles for the show

Our knuckles white, we held on tight

'Cause the longest ride,

makes the crowd go wild...
[Chorus 2]
F G C
Who's gonna open up the gate?
F G C
No hope of ridin' to the eight

We ain't the cowboys,

They're all standin' around laughin'

Like nothin' ever happened

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

we were makin' plans

[Song Review]
What is with this album?? I swear that every melody, every piece of lyrics is just heavenly. You can feel the sadness. And not the "corporate sadness" of singing sad country songs just to sell 'em CDs (if people even buy CDs today), you can feel that the songs in Interstate Gospel is personal and is very close to their hearts. Bravo!
