- Well I dont know
Where the cool kids hang on Friday night
Used to park our parents car by the billboard sign
They tore it down years ago to build a small highrise
Its abandoned now
And its been that way for a while sometime
It dont make sense
But the cheap motel is always open
Seems like were sitting in a handbasket
Wondering where its going
Theres a freshwater shark in a small fish tank
Behind the counter
Doors always locked
And you gotta pre pay in cash by the hour
The sunsets still look the way they always do
Over the backyard trees
My grandma used to sit under in the afternoon
And you cant keep everything the way you want it
Feels like even the ghosts are getting out
Giving up on your hometown
Every single Sunday 10 AM
We were in that pew
I was married there and baptized there
And my kids were too
My mother sang in the womens choir before she died
And the day they sold that church
Even the statue of mother Mary cried
The sunsets still look the way they always do
Over the backyard trees
My grandma used to sit under in the afternoon
And you cant keep everything the way you want it
Feels like even the ghosts are getting out
Giving up on your hometown
Giving up on your hometown
Every kid thats left just kept going
And every debt we didnt pay
We just keep owing
Never visit your daddys grave
But we go by the house
Hed be working on a car in the driveway
If he was with us now
And that porch swing you built for your mama
Is all but gone
I guess even when you stay right here
Sometimes you cant go home
Giving up on your hometown
Giving up on your hometown
Giving up on your hometown
