Reidsville |
In a town where what you know don’t make you who you are |
It all comes down to the car you drive |
Whether you’re a Mustang or a Chevrolet man |
If you don’t know now, you better start choosin' your side |
'Cause every Friday night, you’ll take her uptown |
And line her you on South Scales Street |
It looks like a parade on Independence Day |
With your homecomin' bride in the passenger seat |
We were too young to know what this town had in store |
We were too much in love to give a goddamn |
With expectations high it’s always do or die |
It seems like our fate’s already been sealed in… Reidsville |
When I turned eighteen, I sold that car |
Traded wheels for a wedding band |
A Plymouth hunter-green, big block with three on the tree |
With every nut and bolt turned by these two hands |
It was a good start, then things just got so hard |
Where the hell did we fall off track? |
Now I work for her dad, and the pay it ain’t half bad |
Keeps a roof on her head and the bank off my back |
'Cause we were too young to know what this town had in store |
We were too much in love to give a goddamn |
With expectations high it’s always do or die |
It seems like our fate’s already been sealed in… Reidsville |
That girl of mine, how her eyes they used to shine |
Like two rare stones set out on display |
We were wild and we were young and we could take on anyone |
Now her eyes are darker than a funeral serenade |
And I’d burn it down, every square inch of this town |
Just to see one more smile on her face |
When it comes my day to die, I wanna look God in the eyes |
And ask Him why He gave up on this place |
'Cause we were too young to know what this town had in store |
And we were too much in love to give a goddamn |
With expectations high it’s always do or die |
It seems like our fate’s already been sealed in… Reidsville |
