And I sing songs about the past
How I was raised And how I was thrown out on my ass
'Cause I didn't care
'Bout going to school
And I saw the look in her eyes
My mother nearly cried when I told her that I wanted to go
Just to prove them wrong
I've been smoking Cigarettes
Since I was only fourteen
Just to find an escape
From this town that was so mean to me
And I sing songs about my friends
And how we grew up
In all the loose ends, we used to laugh
'Cause I didn't give a damn
And I saw the look in my brothers eyes
When I told him I was leaving
He couldn't help but despise me
He's wanted out his whole life
I've been smokin' the green
Since I was merley sixteen
Just to find an escape
From this town that was so mean to me
And I sing songs about the past
I plead for relief
This town won't recede
All the things that I want
The things that I need
And I'll be and I'll beg
I'm down on my knees
Momma, oh Momma
Let me please leave
I plead for relief
This town won't recede
All the things that I want
The things that I need
All I ever wanted was Love
