This Town

I was born and I grew up in this town

but lately all I feel is stuck in this town

I've been hangin' 'round so long

don't know why I can't get gone

I don't know what's been holding me in this town


'Cause there really ain't a lot to do in this town

You just watch the cars just passing through this town

meet in the parking lot

split some fries and smoke some pot

it's pretty much the same old thing in this town

CHANNEL

I guess I like the neighborhood in this town

and the pizza's always pretty good in this town

and the houses on my street

under shady maple trees

there's a lot of stuff that feels real right in this town


But damn, it's tough to make ends meet in this town

seems all I do is work and sleep in this town

and dreams get pushed aside

when you're just trying to survive

Oh, there should be a whole lot more to life in this town


BRIDGE:

I can't rise above

So, why do I still love this town?


You see, I've got get dreams that just don't fit in this town

It don't pay to think too big in this town

You get a cold slap in the face that leaves you out of place

when you realize that you don't belong in this town


Oh, my God have you forsaken me in this town

it's like an angry fist is breakin' me in this town

Oh man, it's something mean that's got me on my knees

with a voice that says you're nothing here in this town

INST CHANNEL

Out on this road that's headed out of this town

So mixed up and confused about this town

and it's gettin' hard to drive with these tears in my eyes

I love you and I'll miss you, God damn this town
