[Verse 1] Your hometown's shining like a magazine ad Prom queen crown and a picket fence Everybody's chit-chatting on the main street drag They all know you from way back when But flip the page, it's a broke-down dream There's a truck in the yard and a bird in the cage Tryna make the cash like their daddy done You're looking at the reason everybody stays
[Verse 2] You and your brother, you don't get along But trouble's got nothing on blood in the veins You don't really recognize his face anymore But neither does he, so you got nothing to say Uncle Henry's selling everything Back road dirt deals cranking away Your sister shines bright with a crystal hue Pumping through the blood of her newborn baby
[Verse 3] Mama's always looking after everyone Baking a pie and working overtime She taught you all about making ends meet And that nothing turns out like the nursery rhymes Flip a coin and call it pride or shame Red and white and the working blues Welfare welfare, laying the blame No matter who wins, someone's gonna lose It's a heavy world on a rusted chain Pulling hard to make the pendulum swing But it doesn't swing back and it never will If we're putting our trust in a broke-down dreamTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
