And I sing songs about the past
How I was raised and I was thrown out on my ass
Cause I didn't care
about going to school
And I saw the look in her eyes
My mother nearly cried when I told her that I wanted to go
Just to prove them wrong I've been
smoking cigarettes since I was only
fourteen Just to find an escape from this town that
was so mean to me
And I sing songs about my friends
The way we grew up
And all the loose ends we used to laugh Cause we didn't give a damn
And I saw the look in my brother's eyes When I told him I was leaving
He couldn't help but despise me
He's wanted out his whole life
I've been smoking the green since I was merely sixteen
Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me
And I sing songs about the past
This town won't receive all the things that I want
The things that I need and I'll beg and I'll beg
I'm down on my knees
Mama, oh Mama,
let me please leave
I plead for relief
This town won't receive all the things that
I want The things that I need and I'll beg
All
I ever wanted was love
