BUTCH WALKER - Going Back / Going Home lyrics
rate me<BR>
I'm not happy with myself these days <br>
I took the best pars of the script and I made them all cliches. <br>
And this red bandanas surely gonna fade <br>
Even though it's the only thing the fire didn't take. <br>
<br>
Everybody says 'you'll grown a lot, from this experience'. <br>
Baby B comes in after a while, becomes a president. <br>
The best things get disguised sometimes but all I know is <br>
I finally know the difference between going back and going home. <br>
<br>
There's a lady on my block that has a kid. <br>
As he swims in the above ground pool, she seals up the lid. <br>
And he thinks it's kinda normal that she hides, <br>
All the cuts and all the bruises <br>
She says it's warpaint for the eyes. <br>
<br>
She tells her son she did the best she could as she buries Dad. <br>
Maybe he'll grow up to be a man, or like his father did. <br>
As they leave the driveway for the northern snow, <br>
They finally know the difference between going back and going home. <br>
<br>
Cut to a life <br>
Being born in '69 <br>
Low class suburb, <br>
Everythings fine. <br>
Fondue parties <br>
My mom and my dad, <br>
Drinks being drunk <br>
And fights being had. <br>
I lost my virginity to a girl in my band <br>
She was four years older, she made me a man. <br>
So addicted to sex <br>
Every chance that I got. <br>
With whoever I wanted <br>
Until I got caught. <br>
So I took my penicillin and I took my band <br>
To a town made of glitter girls and cocaine friends. <br>
Got handed the job by the age of eighteen. <br>
Saw more than most people that I know had ever seen. <br>
Played every bar, drank till black and blue. <br>
Did the morning show bullshit <br>
And went to China too. <br>
Where they left us to die, without a ticket to flee. <br>
In sighting the riot, we were only 23. <br>
Packed it up, started over just as fast as we can. <br>
Selling tapes making merch in the back of a van <br>
Living hand-to-mouth for the next five years. <br>
Took up drinking wine, gave up drinking beer. <br>
Signed another big deal with a devil in a dress. <br>
A 'one hit wonder' I think, describes it best. <br>
Decided to burn out, then to fade away. <br>
Went back to the van the very next day. <br>
Picked it up, made a living without any help. <br>
Made amazing friends, if I saw so myself. <br>
If living like this at thirty-eight is a bore, <br>
Then c'mon God, please give me thirty-eight more. <br>
<br>
And everybody know's I've seen a lot <br>
Yea, I'm experienced. <br>
Makes you feel so old after a while, <br>
Just like our president. <br>
Everytime I come back in this town I know, <br>
I finally know the difference between going back and going home. <br>
<br>
Yea...back and going home. <br>
I do.<br>
<BR><BR>
<BR>
