Never Forget Where I'm From

(album: Almost Heaven, Living In Hell - 2017)

[?]
Yeah, yeah

You can take a boy out of the country
But this old town will always be home
And we don't come from a lotta money but baby
I could never forget where I'm from

Small town kid knows how to be a [?]
Walk to skill while kids are busting him in damn clothes
It was mailbox baseball, stealing stop signs
Back then y'all that was the extent of the crime
And if you got caught you would never rat on your friends
Beg police not to call mama life would end
No guns at school, we ain't go that route
But there's a bully then the bully got punched in the mouth
We ain't playing on phones, we walked miles to fish
And there was always that girl if you had one wish
Passing notes in class, yes no or maybe
If you were lucky you can tell your friends that's my baby
The folks were kind to each other, they didn't need a reason
It was just like Christmas waiting on hard season
Tree houses that were made for staring at stars
Where this world takes us can't change who we are

You can take a boy out of the country
But this old town will always be home
And we don't come from a lotta money but baby
I could never forget where I'm from

Supper time is on don't even think about the heed
It was us versus them tag football of the street
Just grow [?] touch down, the kid was gone
Better get your ass on 'cause the street light's on
Everybody got a beating that's just how life goes
Ass whipped again if you ripped the church clothes
Didn't worry bout pages man screw those creeps
Let's build a ramp and jump our bikes clean over the creeks
Stole a beer from my daddy all 4 of us would share
What these kids doing today can't even compare
[?] on a game of truth or dare
We was living wild and free and we didn't have a care
Wish I could go back that's a country boy hoping
Back when you could stay with the door wide open
The whole world was perfect and now it's all shattered
Talking back when everybody's life mattered

You can take a boy out of the country
But this old town will always be home
And we don't come from a lotta money but baby
I could never forget where I'm from

You can take a boy out of the country
But this old town will always be home
And we don't come from a lotta money but baby
I could never forget where I'm from
