hometown

A shortcut to a quick buck's workin' all the time

Rentin' out your mind and savin' every dime

Because when ten of those combine

They cross a sacred line

And go from pocket change

To a gold mine

She said she'd be down to hangout

With her parents out of town

She was hopin' I'm around

For a party at her vacant place

I said I'd come

Showed up and felt out of place

So I headed home

That's when she texted my phone and asked me where

I was, and when I said I was gone

She broke my spine

And in that pain

I realized that every dime I'd ever save

It wasn't worth anything

What's the drive in bein' alive if you don't know who you are?

What's the fun in gettin' drunk if you can't take it too far?

Yeah, my friends are sayin' I've been wastin' all my weekends contemplatin'

If it's me or the booze that really gets wasted, I don't even taste it

I'm throwin' back shots as if it's a race, then I quickly chase them

Without a mouth I'm so down

But my hometown, it only makes me feel alone

And just when I

Hometown girls are my greatest fear

So in a couple days I'll be off to college for another year

I'm thinkin', I'm gettin' away by hittin' the road

Somehow she make it to all of my shows, now where can I go?

Girl, it's a simple matter

Your painted finger on my tongue

So I can taste the lacquer

Relive each door that you have touched

And then she split my lips

And for three whole days

I tried to speak, but everyone agreed

They couldn't hear a word I'd say

What's the drive in bein' alive if you don't know who you are?

What's the fun in gettin' drunk if you can't take it too far?

I'm singin', oh, I don't know

Take me anywhere but home

Without a mouth I'm so down

But my hometown, it only makes me feel alone

And just when I think I'm in the clear

She hooked her hair behind her ears and said, I'm goin' down

She said, "Baby, it's okay to feel

The way you do if you keep it to yourself"

Life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips

But it sure ain't no fun with no teeth and no tongue

Life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips

But it sure ain't no fun with no teeth and no tongue

Life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips

I say life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips

I say life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips

Without a mouth I'm so down

But my hometown, it only makes me feel alone

Just when I think I'm in the clear

She hooked her hair behind her ears

She said, "Babe, are you aware of who I am?"
