lyrics

This Town

We skipped the county fair with a four on the floor
You said, “find it, don’t grind it” - cracked a smile, it was warm
There’s a mix and match in a brown paper bag
It was the best I could lift from my brother’s stash

I can still smell your car
I can still feel your arm reaching…

I hate this town - ever since you left, It’s hard to settle down
In this town - everything’s a test - I’ll never be found

The cool kids can be so mean - it’s hard to fit in
With my garage sale t-shirt and my hand-me-down jeans
You were restless - so eager to leave
Hostage by birth - free at 18

I wonder where you are
I can still feel your arm reaching…

I hate this town - ever since you left, It’s hard to settle down
In this town - everything’s a test - I’ll never be found

Another rodeo night - another drag down main
And the sinners are in church so they don’t feel the shame
And I drive my car fast just so I can feel free
Then I slam on brakes because I know - I can’t leave

I hate this town - ever since you left, It’s hard to settle down
In this town - everything’s a test - I’ll never be found
