Nowhere Oregon

The cops don't let you sleep in this town

Trust me, I've tried before

And the pickup trucks always slow down

Every time you walk out the door

Sayin' hey boy, where you goin'?

I know you didn't just say that to me

I'd all too stupid to repeat

The girls look different in this town

Their skin is scratched

And their eyes are mean

And it's all the rage to know your place

To waste away thinking of better days

And don't forget to say your prayers

And don't forget to birth your heirs

Just get me out before the sun falls

Nowhere Oregon

I'll be good, I won't steal a thing

I won't lie or cheat or sin

Until I'm safe to fuck up again

The air tastes different in this town

Little taste of desperation with every breath

And it's all the rage to know your place

To waste away dreaming of better days

And don't forget to say your prayers

Your genetics will damn your heirs
