They heard a car sputter away too soon Me and the boys from the billiards room Found a shady tree Halfway home and goin' nowhere Casey was asked for his favorite joke Fluttered away just before he spoke But it came to me Halfway home and goin' nowhere All I can tell you is how we spent the time Friends are made in the strangest ways And I’ll miss them by and by Late in the day and the dust kicked up Me and the boys with the windows shut And the music on Halfway home and goin' nowhere Everyone’s summer of '95 Vivid and there till the tape had died On our favorite song Halfway home and goin' nowhere Hitchin' a ride with a crusty girl Me and the boys stole a tie-dye shirt And a kiss or two Halfway home and goin' nowhere Casey was wise with the mud flap guy Smothered and bruised in the neon light And we all went down Halfway home and goin' nowhere All I can tell you is how we spent the time Friends are made in the strangest ways And I’ll miss them by and by Back on our feet and the car backs in Me and the boys at the billiards room Comin' back on beer Halfway home and goin' nowhere Casey will crack up, a fight broke loose I'm in the back thinkin' I must choose But I like it here Halfway home and goin' nowhere
