Small Town

I was raised in a small town

i couldn't wait to leave that small town

'cause i couldn't sit around and think that ignorance is surely killing me

and i'll be left flipping the sign at a closing burger king

with kids who gave up just like me

it is no one's fault

'cause no one wants to live this way at all

but they're so consumed their dreams just fade away

but what would you trade to get one thing to take what love has made

the system is flawed and the system fails us all

i need you to recall, because right now i can't feel your love at all

and i need that here to correct my past mistakes

the only real thing here is you,

and i wonder, watching, which one you would choose

i just hit the hard grtound, but i was running when i hit the hard ground

i watched teh dirt beneath my feet,

and all the bridges that were burning behind me

i'll be so free, someday baby

but you're like me, you'll have to wait and see

it is no one's fault

'cause no one wants to live this way at all

but they're so consumed their dreams just fade away

but what would you trade to get one thing to take what love has made

the system is flawed and the system fails us all

i need you to recall, because right now i can't feel your love at all

and i need that here to correct my past mistakes

the only real thing here is you,

and i wonder, watching, which one you would choose

lies can run while truth is tying it's shoes for you

lies can run while truth is tying it's shoes for you

some dreams take so long, don't ever let go

we've come too far, to give up and go home

some dreams take so long, don't ever let go

we've come too far, to give up and go home
