《Giving up on Your Hometown》歌词

[00:00:00] Giving up on Your Hometown (放弃你的家乡) - Lori McKenna

[00:00:10] Well I don't know

[00:00:11] Where the cool kids hang on Friday night

[00:00:15] Used to park our parent's car by the billboard sign

[00:00:20] They tore it down years ago to build a small highrise

[00:00:25] It's abandoned now

[00:00:26] And it's been that way for a while sometime

[00:00:32] It don't make sense

[00:00:33] But the cheap motel is always open

[00:00:37] Seems like we're sitting in a handbasket

[00:00:39] Wondering where it's going

[00:00:42] There's a freshwater shark in a small fish tank

[00:00:44] Behind the counter

[00:00:47] Door's always locked

[00:00:48] And you gotta pre pay in cash by the hour

[00:00:54] The sunsets still look the way they always do

[00:00:59] Over the backyard trees

[00:01:01] My grandma used to sit under in the afternoon

[00:01:04] And you can't keep everything the way you want it

[00:01:08] Feels like even the ghosts are getting out

[00:01:12] Giving up on your hometown

[00:01:23] Every single Sunday 10 AM

[00:01:25] We were in that pew

[00:01:28] I was married there and baptized there

[00:01:30] And my kids were too

[00:01:32] My mother sang in the women's choir before she died

[00:01:37] And the day they sold that church

[00:01:39] Even the statue of mother Mary cried

[00:01:45] The sunsets still look the way they always do

[00:01:49] Over the backyard trees

[00:01:52] My grandma used to sit under in the afternoon

[00:01:55] And you can't keep everything the way you want it

[00:01:59] Feels like even the ghosts are getting out

[00:02:03] Giving up on your hometown

[00:02:07] Giving up on your hometown

[00:02:14] Every kid that's left just kept going

[00:02:19] And every debt we didn't pay

[00:02:20] We just keep owing

[00:02:23] Never visit your daddy's grave

[00:02:25] But we go by the house

[00:02:28] He'd be working on a car in the driveway

[00:02:30] If he was with us now

[00:02:33] And that porch swing you built for your mama

[00:02:36] Is all but gone

[00:02:38] I guess even when you stay right here

[00:02:40] Sometimes you can't go home

[00:02:46] Giving up on your hometown

[00:02:51] Giving up on your hometown

[00:02:56] Giving up on your hometown
