The Menzingers - "High School Friend" (Full Album Stream)

This song hits me in the feels, reminds me of hanging with my friends and wishing we could have get-togethers like we used to back in the day.

Married with 2 kids now. Long gone from high school 20 years ago- I remember after a football game senior year my dad turned to me, just as I was about to head out into the fall crisp night..
“One day you’ll miss this.”
I didn’t know how right he would be. 20 years later, he’s right. This song ❤

"Your Wild Years" pt.2 and I freakin' love it

[Verse 1]
Raisin’ hell in Wayne county
With a copper on our tail
Hopin’ that he drives on by me
But knowin’ this town he’ll probably throw us in jail
[Verse 2]
We’re both so paranoid in our hometown
There's so much unclaimed baggage at the carousels
And though we’re guilty of nothing we feel like fugitives running
Towards the Great White North or a border town in Mexico
[Pre-Chorus]
There's former you, there's former me
We’re tellin’ tales of revisionist history
I remember the days we couldn’t hardly wait to end
[Chorus]
I was getting fucked up with a high school friend
Wonderin’ where all the good times went
I was gettin’ fucked up with a high school friend
Wonderin’ where all the good times went
[Verse 4]
We left town the minute we turned 18
We moved to different corners of the country
Now we come back for holidays and funerals
So much has changed but Wayne county’s still the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Drivin’ down 191
There's an old memory of someone
As a little white cross just popping out from the bend
[Chorus]
I was getting fucked up with a high school friend
Wonderin’ where all the good times went
I was gettin’ fucked up with a high school friend
Wonderin’ where all the good times went
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
[Bridge]
Don’t let the overwhelming sorrow shred all hopes of tomorrow
Don’t let em tell you how to live your life
‘Cause they may never understand but it’s okay because I do
We know all the ups and downs each other have been through
[Chorus]
I was getting fucked up with a high school friend
Wonderin’ where all the good times went
I was gettin’ fucked up with a high school friend
Wonderin’ where all the good times went
(Oh oh oh oh oh)

I think the menzingers are the best story tellers since the Gaslight Anthem and I met Brian Fallon at a home depot and these guys are awesome.your wild years,casey ,bad Catholics and this whole album it just tells a story and strangers forever is just a brilliant song

" I was getting fucked up with high school friends, wondering where the good times went" Story of my life ...

This song always reminds me of the good times from a years ago, before we all let the drugs consume us...I'm the only one clean now, everyone else is either dead or lost. Wish I could see them all again.

I live in Australia. I love Americana rock/punk. Love the vibe of Against Me! The Gaslight anthem. Just recently discovered the Mezingers. These songs remind me of an afternoon in suburbia/ country town, like the afternoon in American Pie with Mutt by Blink 182 playing when Jim is running to score with Nadia the exchange student. :)

I love this song in general and the kick drum/bass figures in the chorus in particular.

Hung out with my high school friend last night and wondered where all the good times went 😢

Brilliant Tune and Album. Really nostalgic, makes me feel like I just finished watching a John Hughes Movie.

It’s very melancholy this song is. Thank you guys; you’re incredible with how the lyrics and melody speak so strongly for other than myself. ❤️🖤❤️

This is my favorite song of the new record so far.

This song deserves a bajillion more likes

Good tune

This album is a fucking masterpiece

So amazing. I've reconnected with so many HS friends during this pandemic and we've some how figured out to have drinking parties via Zoom. It is something, right?

I fucking love this song and band so much.
