And I sing songs about the past
How I was raised and I was thrown out on my a*s
Cause I didn't care about going to school
And I saw the look in her eyes
My mother nearly cried when I had 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 love
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 could help but despise me
He 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.
I plead for relief.
This town won't receive all the things that I want, the things that I need.
And I'll be and I'll beg.
I'm down on my knees.
Momma oh momma 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.
