City Limits

Lyrics
My eyes are blind & baby blue When I've only been back a day or two Somewhere there's a stench of laughter rising So toss off your boots and loosen your tie Cause talkin' trash helps everyone unwind Go round up the herd and start a lynching And as your wallet empties there's a man to come and fill it But he can't take you out to cross these city limits You say you want my life but I'm the one who has to live it And you've got too much fear to cross these city limits At the bar you stay a year or two With your same bad luck and point of view Pick a drink and maybe some diseases And don't you wish you were in your teenage skin And in your church clothes and on Ritalin Share your thoughts with someone else who's dying Cause when my space is empty I know you will quickly fill it As soon as I drive farther from these city limits When the smilin' fades then everyone has to admit it We all turned out the same inside these city limits Look at how this town has made me blue Because it's still a stain I can't undo Somewhere there's a truth that I'm denying So pack up your wagon, lasso your pride Cause talkin' trash helps everyone unwind Somewhere there's regret that keeps you crying Cause when my space is empty I know you will quickly fill it As soon as I drive farther from these city limits You say you want my life but I'm the one who has to live it And you've got too much fear to cross these city limits
