Sam's Town

Nobody ever had a dream 'round here

But I don't really mind that it's startin' to get to me

Nobody ever pulls the seams 'round here

But I don't really mind that it's startin' to get to me

I've got this energy beneath my feet

Like something underground's gonna come up and carry me

I've got this sentimental heart that beats

But I don't really mind that it's startin' to get to me

Now, why do you waste my time?

Is the answer to the question on your mind?

And I'm sick of all my judges, so scared of what they'll find

But I know that I can make it, as long as somebody takes me home

Every now and then

Oh, have you ever seen the lights?

Have you ever seen the lights?

I took the shuttle on a shockwave ride

Where people on the pen pulled a trigger for accolades

I took a bullet and I looked inside

And it's runnin' through my veins

An American masquerade

I still remember Grandma Ditzy's wake

I've never really known anybody to die before

Red, white and blue upon a birthday cake

My brother, he was born on the Fourth of July and that's all

So why do you waste my time?

Is the answer to the question on your mind?

And I'm sick of all my judges, they're so scared of lettin' me shine

But I know that I can make it, as long as somebody takes me home

(Woo)

Every now and then

Every now and then

You know I see London, I see Sam's town

Pulls my hand and lets my hair down

Rolls that world right off my shoulder

I see London, I see Sam's town now
