Hoodie Weather

It smells like it should be snowing And I've been frequenting a diner on Main Street Where the waitresses are girls that graduated with me Have problems with oxy and can't recall what I had to drink No one knows where they're going They just know they want out of here badly They're like cigarettes dropped on a highway They smash and scatter and burn out somewhere else without knowing I've got my grandmother's veins in the back of my hands And just a hint of a South Philly accent I was born here and I'll probably die here Let's go home This town has got lies to tell I'll wait around and hear you out But I can't keep from digging up these bones The kids in the graduating class Have got their eyes set west And California on their lips But I left some blood there that I'm never getting back Rocky's in the Deep South I don't think he's coming back now It's sinister, but it's how life worked out I've got my grandmother's veins in the back of my hands And just a hint of a South Philly accent I was born here and I'll probably die here Let's go home This town has got lies to tell I'll wait around and hear you out But I can't keep from digging up these bones forever At least for now, I'll settle down I'll try to find some solid ground I lost my footing trying to get home last winter Growing up means watching my heroes turn human in front of me The songs we wrote at eighteen seem shortsighted and naïve So when the weather breaks, I'll pull my hoodie up over my face I won't run away, run away As fucked as this place got, it made me me This town has got lies to tell I'll wait around and hear you out But I can't keep from digging up these bones forever At least for now, I'll settle down I'll try to find some solid ground I lost my footing trying to get home last winter This town's got lies to tell
