Mound City Songtext
von Jack Summers

Its Friday night
And the home team lost
To the Catholic boys
From the holy cross
Its true what they say
They′re recruiting from out of state

But the fans all cheer
Acting real proud
The marching band plays
As they thin out the crowd
You catch my eye
And there's no place that I′d rather be

Our sunburns keep slowing us down
But times passin quickly
I'm thinking about leaving this town
And taking you with me
But the tanks almost empty
So we're stuck in mound city
We′re stuck in mound city


We hop in my car
Like bonnie and Clyde
You text your momma
A little white lie
"I′m staying at Jane's
I′ll be home tomorrow at noon"

Its harmless you say
As we hit the road
With no destination
Singing ghost of Tom Joad
The highways alive
But this town has been sleeping for year

Our sunburns keep slowing us down
But times passin quickly
I'm thinking about leaving this town
And taking you with me
But the tanks almost empty
So we′re stuck in mound city
We're stuck in mound city

I think we both know in our hearts that we′d never leave
But when I hold you in my arms I almost believe
That if I had the gas we'd drive far away
And never think what your mother would say
But tonight it's just us with no one around
Just hold me close and don′t make a sound


Our sunburns keep slowing us down
But times passin quickly
I′m thinking about leaving this town
And taking you with me
But the tanks almost empty
So we're stuck in mound city
We′re stuck in mound city
