David Morris Wasteland Dreams
I'm goin' crazy, been in this town since a baby
Gonna be here 'til I made it
Work at the station, live in a basement
Man, this whole place is a teenage wasteland
All I wanna do is get out
But I can't, gotta stay here
Gotta take care of my family
It's gonna take the man in me
To hang onto my sanity
I just got paid, Uncle Sam took half
I don't wanna cry, so I'll probly laugh
I'm in a Chevy truck, burnin' diesel gas
And if you talkin' shit, you can kiss my ass
Motherfuckers like me don't get out of a place like this
We just see days like
We was just raised like this
Workin' them jobs that pay like shit
Nobody gonna tell me nothin'
I'ma get out, I'ma tеll 'em somethin'
I'ma sit herе with the engine runnin'
Got the calls incomin'
Yeah, we talk with a drawl but y'all sound funny
Look at me, motherfucker
I'm back in this bitch, I'm back in the sticks
I'm back on 'em roads, and I'm back on my shit
Yeah, I got your back if you need you a friend
'Round here errybody knows errybody
I probly know your daddy, I probly know your buddies
I probly went to school with your best friend's cousin
Went to church on Sunday with your whole family
They love me
I'm tryna stay away from all the pills and shit
Tryna stay payin' my bills and shit
Tryna stay focused, stay killin' shit
If you're from my hometown, then you're feelin' this
Man, I miss the days we used to play out in the rain
Into the boulevard from Wendy's all the way until the banks
To the bridge on the south side with the cold trains
And some kids with a wild side and a home team
Ain't nobody gonna tell me nothin'
I'ma get it
I'ma live it
I'ma make it my mission to make a difference
I'm a kid from West Virginia who just never really fit in
I don't care about opinions, I'm just tryna make a million
And move away somewhere nice
Have a quiet, peaceful life
Couple acres in them pines
We all know what it's like
To be young and free in our hometown, babe
But can we survive in the USA
Just livin' off hope and minimum wage
Baby, I'll be countin' the days
[Outro]
'Til we're young and free in our hometown, babe
But can we survive in the USA
Just livin' off hope and minimum wage
Honey, I'll be countin' the days
I'll be countin' the days
