Paul Revere

County line, I'm countin' down Mailboxes until my house This place had a heartbeat in its day Vail bought the mountains, and nothing was the same Yeah, the boys are drunk, the sun is high The license plates "Live Free or Die" It just ain't that simple; it never was We'll drink 'til New Year's, then they'll leave me to clean up One day, I'm gonna cut it clear Ride like Paul Revere And, when they ask me who I am I'll say, "I'm not from around here" I'll leave before the road crew's out Before those joggers, looking way too proud We'll turn up the music and I'll forget Until it ends that I'm not ready to let go yet One day, I'm gonna cut it clear Ride like Paul Revere And when they ask me who I am I'll just pretend I didn't hear It's typical, I fear Folks just disappear And when they ask me who I am I'll say, "I'm not from around here" I'll say, "I'm not from around here" But I'm in my car, and I see the yard The patch of grass where we buried the dog And the world makes sense behind the chain-link fence If I could leave, I would've already left But I'm in my car, and I see the yard And the patch of grass where we buried the dog And the world makes sense behind the chain-link fence If I could leave, I would've already left I would've already left
