Allison Road
Gin Blossoms · Live in Concert [2009]
I've lost my mind
On what I'd find
And all of the pressure that I left behind
On Alison Road
Fools in the rain
If the sun gets through
Fire's in the heaven of the eyes I knew
On Alison Road
Dark clouds file in when the moon is near
Birds fly by A.M. in her bedroom stare
There's no tellin' what I might find
I couldn't see I was lost at the time
On Alison Road
Yeah I didn't know I was lost at the time
On Alison Road
So she fills up her sails
With my wasted breath
And each one's more wasted than the others you can bet
On Alison Road
Now I can't hide (on Alison Road)
So why not drive (on Alison Road)
I know I want to love her but I can't decide
On Alison Road
I didn't know I was lost at the time
Eyes in the sun where the road wasn't wide
So I went looking for an exit'sign
All I wanted to find tonight
Yeah I didn't know I was lost at the time
On Alison Road
I've lost my mind
If the sun gets through
Fire's in the heaven of the eyes I knew
On Alison Road
On Alison Road (Allison Road)
Alison Road
On what I'd find
And all of the pressure that I left behind
On Alison Road
Fools in the rain
If the sun gets through
Fire's in the heaven of the eyes I knew
On Alison Road
Dark clouds file in when the moon is near
Birds fly by A.M. in her bedroom stare
There's no tellin' what I might find
I couldn't see I was lost at the time
On Alison Road
Yeah I didn't know I was lost at the time
On Alison Road
So she fills up her sails
With my wasted breath
And each one's more wasted than the others you can bet
On Alison Road
Now I can't hide (on Alison Road)
So why not drive (on Alison Road)
I know I want to love her but I can't decide
On Alison Road
I didn't know I was lost at the time
Eyes in the sun where the road wasn't wide
So I went looking for an exit'sign
All I wanted to find tonight
Yeah I didn't know I was lost at the time
On Alison Road
I've lost my mind
If the sun gets through
Fire's in the heaven of the eyes I knew
On Alison Road
On Alison Road (Allison Road)

Gin Blossoms' "Allison Road" stands as a defining track from their 1996 self-titled debut, capturing the band's signature blend of alternative rock and melodic pop. Originally released on the album of the same name, the song became a staple of their live performances, notably featured on the 2009 "Live in Concert" recording. The track exemplifies the band's ability to craft anthemic choruses and introspective lyrics that resonated deeply with audiences during the mid-90s alternative scene. Its enduring popularity highlights the group's significant influence on the genre and their capacity to translate studio recordings into powerful live experiences.
