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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Behind the counter[00:00:44]

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

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

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

Over the backyard trees[00:00:59]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Over the backyard trees[00:01:49]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We just keep owing[00:02:20]

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

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

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

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

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

Is all but gone[00:02:36]

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

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

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

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

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