Giving up on Your Hometown |
Well, I don’t know |
Where the cool kids hang on Friday night |
Used to park our parent’s car by the billboard sign |
They tore it down years ago to build a small highrise |
It’s abandoned now |
And it’s been that way for a while, sometime |
It don’t make sense |
But the cheap motel is always open |
Seems like we’re sitting in a handbasket |
Wondering where it’s going |
There’s a freshwater shark in a small fish tank |
Behind the counter |
Door’s always locked |
And you gotta pre-pay in cash by the hour |
The sunsets still look the way they always do |
Over the backyard trees |
My grandma used to sit under in the afternoon |
And you can’t keep everything the way you want it |
Feels like even the ghosts are getting out |
Giving up on your hometown |
Every single sunday, 10AM |
We were in that pew |
I was married there and baptized there |
And my kids were too |
My mother sang in the women’s choir before she died |
And the day they sold that church |
Even the statue of Mother Mary cried |
The sunsets still look the way they always do |
Over the backyard trees |
My grandma used to sit under in the afternoon |
And you can’t keep everything the way you want it |
Feels like even the ghosts are getting out |
Giving up on your hometown |
Giving up on your hometown |
Every kid that’s left just kept going |
And every debt we didn’t pay |
We just keep owing |
Never visit your daddy’s grave |
But we go by the house |
He’d be working on a car in the driveway |
If he was with us now |
And that porch swing you built for your mama |
Is all but gone |
I guess even when you stay right here |
Sometimes you can’t go home |
Giving up on your hometown |
Giving up on your hometown |
Giving up on your hometown |
