Modesto Baby

I was just a scene kid

On the edge of sixteen

You were selling Oxys

And printing punk zines

Out in Modesto

Sun cut like a dull knife

Kissing at the skatepark

"Please Lord, not a dull life"

Touching made me nervous

And the bands that you played

In the back of your Astro

On those nights when we stayed

And I was just a teenage skater to you

I was just a teenage skater to you

In 2007

Escape the Fate

I was in its chokehold

And I didn't wanna wait

Out in Modesto

Nobody leaves

But you told me about tour life

And the things that you'd seen

Face splashed with moonlight

In the back of your van

New Found Glory playing

And your belt in my hand

And I was just a teenage skater to you

I was just a teenage skater to you

And I never told you about the news that I got

From the doctor up in Stockton

And I never told ma

So I sold my skateboard

And I kept your CD

And I got the operation

And then I just had me

But if I'd had the baby

Iff he was here today

I'd have named him Emo

For the music you played

And I was just a teenage skater to you

I was just a teenage skater to you

I was just a teenage skater to you

I was just a teenage skater to you
