[00:10.58]Well I don't know
[00:11.38]Where the cool kids hang on Friday night
[00:13.41]
[00:15.33]Used to park our parent's car by the billboard sign
[00:18.50]
[00:20.22]They tore it down years ago to build a small highrise
[00:23.79]
[00:25.14]It's abandoned now
[00:26.16]And it's been that way for a while sometime
[00:29.43]
[00:32.32]It don't make sense
[00:33.41]But the cheap motel is always open
[00:35.48]
[00:37.21]Seems like we're sitting in a handbasket
[00:39.39]Wondering where it's going
[00:40.61]
[00:42.15]There's a freshwater shark in a small fish tank
[00:44.53]Behind the counter
[00:45.07]
[00:47.12]Door's always locked
[00:48.08]And you gotta pre pay in cash by the hour
[00:52.03]
[00:54.31]The sunsets still look the way they always do
[00:57.77]
[00:59.03]Over the backyard trees
[01:01.24]My grandma used to sit under in the afternoon
[01:04.83]And you can't keep everything the way you want it
[01:07.78]
[01:08.55]Feels like even the ghosts are getting out
[01:11.01]
[01:12.34]Giving up on your hometown
[01:13.94]
[01:23.38]Every single Sunday 10 AM
[01:25.11]
[01:25.62]We were in that pew
[01:26.62]
[01:28.02]I was married there and baptized there
[01:30.19]And my kids were too
[01:31.21]
[01:32.93]My mother sang in the women's choir before she died
[01:36.10]
[01:37.67]And the day they sold that church
[01:39.45]Even the statue of mother Mary cried
[01:42.46]
[01:45.06]The sunsets still look the way they always do
[01:48.68]
[01:49.83]Over the backyard trees
[01:52.00]My grandma used to sit under in the afternoon
[01:55.58]And you can't keep everything the way you want it
[01:59.36]Feels like even the ghosts are getting out
[02:01.83]
[02:03.26]Giving up on your hometown
[02:04.38]
[02:07.91]Giving up on your hometown
[02:09.28]
[02:14.34]Every kid that's left just kept going
[02:16.58]
[02:19.04]And every debt we didn't pay
[02:20.93]We just keep owing
[02:22.90]
[02:23.75]Never visit your daddy's grave
[02:25.67]But we go by the house
[02:27.01]
[02:28.73]He'd be working on a car in the driveway
[02:30.72]If he was with us now
[02:31.89]
[02:33.63]And that porch swing you built for your mama
[02:36.09]Is all but gone
[02:36.90]
[02:38.36]I guess even when you stay right here
[02:40.08]
[02:40.67]Sometimes you can't go home
[02:44.26]
[02:46.91]Giving up on your hometown
[02:48.40]
[02:51.96]Giving up on your hometown
[02:52.95]
[02:56.68]Giving up on your hometown
