Just Like Downtown - Carrie Newcomer[00:00:00]
I grew up on an island[00:00:08]
Somewhere near Chicago[00:00:10]
Learned how to talk rough[00:00:12]
Just like downtown[00:00:14]
You could drive to the lake[00:00:16]
And it sure seemed to me[00:00:18]
It smelled like fresh water[00:00:20]
But it felt like the sea[00:00:22]
That's right it's so long now[00:00:24]
You cannot fight this thing any old how[00:00:28]
You can run fast you can try so hard[00:00:32]
But you can't shake the ache or the lake of[00:00:36]
Who you are[00:00:39]
There was nothing to do[00:00:44]
But to shut up and drive[00:00:46]
To the water down the backroads[00:00:48]
To the south and east sides[00:00:50]
Some girls got through high school[00:00:52]
Some never will[00:00:55]
Some walked with a hunger[00:00:56]
They never would fill[00:00:58]
That's right it's so long now[00:01:01]
You cannot fight this thing any old how[00:01:05]
You can run fast you can try so hard[00:01:08]
But you can't shake the ache or the lake of[00:01:12]
Who you are[00:01:16]
You can cough out the city[00:01:21]
You can change your old clothes[00:01:23]
You can soften your accent[00:01:25]
So nobody knows[00:01:27]
But whenever I'm honest[00:01:28]
Something in me[00:01:31]
Still looks for fresh water[00:01:33]
That feels like the sea[00:01:35]
That's right it's so long now[00:01:37]
You cannot fight this thing any old how[00:01:41]
You can run fast you can try so hard[00:01:45]
But you can't shake the ache or the lake of[00:01:49]
Who you are[00:01:53]
I close my eyes[00:02:01]
And I can still see[00:02:07]
That no one forgets[00:02:10]
What it's like to be[00:02:15]
Who it is to be[00:02:17]
If you see me inclining when no one is speaking[00:02:34]
If you sense that I'm wandering somewhere in my mind[00:02:38]
If you listen real close you might hear the whisper[00:02:42]
Or see how the sunsets on the lake could shine and shine[00:02:46]
That's right it's so long now[00:02:51]
You cannot fight this thing any old how[00:02:55]
You can run fast you can try so hard[00:02:59]
But you can't shake the ache or the lake of[00:03:03]
Who you are[00:03:06]
I grew up on an island somewhere near Chicago[00:03:15]
Learned how to talk tough just like downtown[00:03:19]
