That Would Have Been A Good Day To Die

seven years ago
almost home
coming over the bridge
from a show in The Windy City

we hit the ice
hit the wall
and Ben's bass amp
hit me in the face

the car kept sliding
bouncing off each side
toward the other

it seemed a lot
like it was going to be the end

i'd gotten laid that morning
played my first show in Chicago
ate pizza
drank tequila

i was happy
and wasn't afraid

i miss that moment
