hometown

(album: the boys - 2018)

Short cut to a quick buck is working all the time
Renting out your mind
And saving every dime
Cause 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 hoping 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 text my phone and ask 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 saved wasn't worth anything

What's the drive in being alive if you don't know where you are?
What's the fun in getting drunk if you can't take it too far
Yeah my friends are saying I've been wasting all my weekends contemplating
If it's me or the booze that really gets wasted
I don't even taste it
When I'm throwing back shots as if its a race then
Quickly chase them

But without a mouth I'm so down
But my hometown it only makes me feel alone
But just when I

Hometown girls are my greatest fear
So in a couple days I'll be off to college for another year
Thinking
I'm getting away by hitting the road
Somehow she make it to all of my shows now where can I go

Girl it's a simple a matter
Put your painted finger on my tongue
So I can taste the lacquer
And 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 being alive if you don't know where you are?
What's the fun in getting drunk if you can't take it too far
I'm singing 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
Then just when I I I I think I'm in the clear she hook her hair behind her ears and said I'm
Going down
She said baby it's okay you 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 said
Life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips I said
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
Then just when I I I I think I'm in the clear
She hook her hair behind her ears
Says babe are you aware
Of who I am
