Paul Revere

County line, I'm counting 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

Their license plates Live Free or Die

But it just ain't that simple, it never was

We'll drink to 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

And I'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 a chain link fence

If I could leave, I would've already left

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 a chain link fence

If I could leave, I would've already left

I would've already left
