hometown

Short cut to a quick buck is working all the time Renting out your mind and saving every dime Because when ten of those combine, they cross a sacred line And go from pocket change to a gold mine She said she'd be down to hang out With her parents out of town She was hoping I'm around For a party at her vacant place I said I'd come Showed up and felt out of place, so I headed home That's when she texts my phone and ask me where I was and when I said I was gone She broke my spine And in that pain I realized that every dime I've ever saved It wasn't worth anything What's the drive in being alive when you don't know who you are? What's the fun in getting drunk if you can't take it too far? Yeah, my friends are saying I've been wasting all my weekends contemplating If it's me or the booze that really gets wasted I don't even taste it I'm throwing back shots as if it's a race Then quickly chase them Without a mouth, I'm so down But my hometown, it only makes me feel alone And just when I Hometown girls are my greatest fear So, in a couple days, I'll be off to college for another year Thinking, I'm getting away by hitting the road Somehow, she make it to all of my shows, now where can I go? Girl, it's a simple matter Your painted finger on my tongue So I can taste the lacquer Relive each door that you have touched And then she split my lips And for three whole days I tried to speak but everyone agreed They couldn't hear a word I'd say What's the drive in being alive when you don't know who you are? What's the fun in getting drunk if you can't take it too far? I'm saying, "Oh, I don't know Take me anywhere but home" Without a mouth, I'm so down But my hometown, it only makes me feel alone And just when I think I'm in the clear She hook her hair behind her ear She said I'm going down She said, "Baby, it's okay to feel The way you do if you keep it to yourself" Life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips But it sure ain't no fun with no teeth and no tongue Life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips But it sure ain't no fun with no teeth and no tongue Life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips I say, "Life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips" I say, "Life is a bitch with no mouth and no lips" Without a mouth, I'm so down But my hometown, it only makes me feel alone Just when I think I'm in the clear She hook her hair behind her ear She said, "Babe, are you aware Of who I am?"
