All my favorite songs are from 2018
We flew around the world with our small-town dreams
You're a superstar and you wear it so well
But nothin' like you in my hoodie, double-XL

Bloodstream, full of desert lightnin'
Thank god I'm not drivin'
A blur the whole way home

I still remember
I will forever
Backseat secrets we won't ever tell
I miss you, double-XL

Miss Americana
And all my friends love ya
Back patio at the Bowery Hotel
I miss you, double-XL

You've been goin' out in the glitter and glow
Hollywood fades and it's startin' to show
I'm barely hangin' on, and I'm lookin' for help
Every night without you, hurtin' double-XL

Bloodstream, full of desert lightnin'
Thank god I'm not drivin'
A blur the whole way home

I still remember
I will forever
Backseat secrets we won't ever tell
I'll miss you, double-XL

Miss Americana
And all my friends love ya
Back patio at the Bowery Hotel
I miss you, double-XL

Baby, we'll always
Have California
Half of me will always
Be waitin' for ya

I still remember
I will forever
Backseat secrets we won't ever tell
I miss you, double-XL

Miss Americana
And all my friends love ya
Back patio at the Bowery Hotel
I miss you, double-XL

Baby, we'll always
Have California (I miss you, aw, yeah)
Half of me will always
Be waitin' for ya (oh, oh)

Baby, we'll always
Have California (I'll miss you, I'll miss you)
Half of me will always
Be waitin' for ya (I miss you, double-XL)
