It smells like it should be snowing
|
And I've been frequenting a diner on Main Street
|
Where the waitresses are girls that graduated with me
|
Have problems with oxy and can't recall what I had to drink
|
No one knows where they're going
|
They just know they want out of here badly
|
They're like cigarettes dropped on a highway
|
They smash and scatter and burn out somewhere else without knowing
|
I've got my grandmother's veins in the back of my hands
|
And just a hint of a South Philly accent
|
I was born here and I'll probably die here
|
Let's go home
|
|
This town has got lies to tell
|
I'll wait around and hear you out
|
But I can't keep from digging up these bones forever
|
At least for now, I'll settle down
|
I'll try to find some solid ground
|
I lost my footing trying to get home last winter
|
|
The kids in the graduating class
|
Have got their eyes set west
|
And California on their lips
|
But I left some blood there that I'm never getting back
|
Rocky's in the Deep South
|
I don't think he's coming back now
|
It's sinister, but it's how life worked out
|
I've got my grandmother's veins in the back of my hands
|
And just a hint of a South Philly accent
|
I was born here and I'll probably die here
|
Let's go home
|
|
This town has got lies to tell
|
I'll wait around and hear you out
|
But I can't keep from digging up these bones forever
|
At least for now, I'll settle down
|
I'll try to find some solid ground
|
I lost my footing trying to get home last winter
|
|
Growing up means watching my heroes turn human in front of me
|
The songs we wrote at eighteen seem shortsighted and naA?ve
|
So when the weather breaks, I'll pull my hoodie up over my face
|
I won't run away, run away
|
As fucked as this place got, it made me me
|
|
This town has got lies to tell
|
I'll wait around and hear you out
|
But I can't keep from digging up these bones forever
|
At least for now, I'll settle down
|
I'll try to find some solid ground
|
I lost my footing trying to get home last winter
|
This town's got lies to tell
|
