DESCRIPTION:
Ray LaMontagne's song from his new album. I've been hearing it on my favorite local Philly station (WXPN) and decided to cover it myself.
I'm pretty true to his version, but I had to add a little flair of my own.
LYRICS:
So your home town's bringing you down
Are you drowning in the small talk & the chatter?
Or are you gonna step into line like your daddy done???
Punching the time and climbing life's long ladder......
You've been howling at the moon like a slack-jaw fool
And breaking every rule they can throw on.
But one of these days, it's gonna be right soon
You'll find your legs and go.. and you'll stay gone

Young man full of big plans and thinking about tomorrow
Young man, you're going to make a stand
You beg, you steal, you borrow.
You beg, you steal, you borrow.

Well all the friends that you knew in school,
They used to be so cool, now they just bore you.
Well look at them now, already pulling the plow,
So quick to take to pain and some mourn you.

Dreaming of the day you're gonna pack your bags
& put the miles away.
Oh, just grab your girl and go where no one knows you.....
What will all the old folks say?
