Origineel
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 ’til the tape had died
On our favorite song
Halfway home and goin’ nowhere
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
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
Vertaling
[Verse 1]
Ze hoorden een auto te snel weg sputteren
Ik en de jongens van de biljartzaal
Found a shady tree
Halfway home and goin’ nowhere
Casey werd gevraagd naar zijn favoriete grap
Fladderde weg net voor hij sprak
But it came to me
Halfway home and goin’ nowhere
[refrein]
All I can tell you is how we spent the time
Vrienden worden op de vreemdste manieren gemaakt
And I’ll miss them by and by
[Verse 2]
Laat op de dag en het stof is opgetrokken
Ik en de jongens met de ramen dicht
And the music on
Halfway home and goin’ nowhere
Ieders zomer van ’95
Levendig en daar tot de band was overleden
Op ons favoriete liedje
Halfway home and goin’ nowhere
[Verse 3]
Hitchin’ a ride with a crusty girl
Ik en de jongens stalen een tie-dye shirt
And a kiss or two
Halfway home and goin’ nowhere
Casey was wijs met de modder flap kerel
Gesmoord en gekneusd in het neonlicht
And we all went down
Halfway home and goin’ nowhere
[Chorus]
All I can tell you is how we spent the time
Vrienden worden op de vreemdste manieren gemaakt
And I’ll miss them by and by
[Verse 4]
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 zal barsten, een gevecht brak los
I’m in the back thinkin’ I must choose
But I like it here
Halfway home and goin’ nowhere
