hometown

Shortcut 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

I'm 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?"
