I sing songs about the past
And how I was raised and I was torn on my $$#
Cause I didn't care about going to school


And I saw the look in her eyes
My mother nearly cried when I told her that I wanted to go

Just to prove them wrong

I've been smoking cigarettes since I was only fourteen

Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me

And I sing songs about the friends

The way we grew up and all the loose ends we used to
Cause I didn't give a damn


And I saw the look in my brothers eyes
When I told him I was leaving
He could help but despise me

He wanted out his while life

I've been smoking the green since I was only 16

Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me

I sing songs about the past.
