Small Town and Down Songtext
von Rumbletramp

Travel these streets on feet so callous
Tryna find some folks who are more like us
I pretend I′m safe behind a pair of sunglasses
My body's still too conspicuous

Good old boys with american values
Hoot and holler til their throats our raw
Morality so fragile they feel threatened and challenged
When confronted by anyone outside of their box

Though the mountains raise their heads
Like whales in the seas of mist out west
The forests close their ranks up on the crest


Though this town ain′t got that much
We've got each other and that's enough
The only thing left to fear is loneliness

Growing up here we′d scream and shout
Pretending we hailed from almost anywhere else
Our dreams were all shaped like getting out
With portals to other worlds strewn on our shelves

Wanna tell my friends how it′s not their fault
'Cause there was nothing for the kids to do but drink and fuck
The world′s so big and your horizon's so small
Is it really any wonder we all felt so stuck?

Though the mountains raise their heads
Like whales in the seas of mist out west
The forests close their ranks up on the crest
