WITNESS - Home Tonight lyrics

rate me

Sunrise, sunset, Twenty hour car ride<br />

We're down south and it's gonna be a hard night<br />

We got the Pharcyde playing in the tape deck<br />

Going to Chicago where the potholes break necks<br />

Making good time<br />

Dippin on them toll booths<br />

Eating at them diners where the waitress gotta gold tooth<br />

I met a kid that said that I should date his sister<br />

That shit would never happen<br />

Republicans are bad kissers<br />

But that's tour<br />

In America's back porch<br />

We get a little love<br />

Then it's back to the blackboard<br />

It's back north<br />

And then it's back home<br />

Back east<br />

Back still killing me from sleeping in the back seat<br />

I gotta stomach full of fast food chicken<br />

In a back room sipping on a Pabst Blue Ribbon<br />

And I didn't want to listen to your rap crew spittin<br />

But I'm digging the cheap beer and tattooed women<br />

<br />

This city's gonna be my home tonight<br />

This town's gonna be my home tonight<br />

This world's gonna be my home tonight<br />

Ain't no place like home<br />

<br />

I'm looking for happiness<br />

Where it's hiding in the future<br />

Cause The Wonder Years are over<br />

And I never got with Winnie Cooper<br />

I used to be the skinny loser that could write a thesis<br />

And I'm still a skinny loser but I'll rip your mic to pieces<br />

But that's a right I keep a refusing to waive<br />

I punch lines so hard that I'm bruising the page<br />

I do it as a student of the loop and break and<br />

Live life like "What would Larry David do with his day?"<br />

It's like that y'all<br />

As a recovering rag doll<br />

I'm done with shallow women that think that they're Carrie Bradshaw<br />

I mapped every dip and valleys on the mattress<br />

And I'm still infatuated with the pages of an atlas<br />

So that's it<br />

I got the bag packed quick<br />

Left the television on<br />

But I'm never coming back, kid<br />

We all gotta pay the bills this month<br />

And tonight I've been enlisted just to make a fist pump<br />

<br />

Pennsylvania and Arizona<br />

South Dakota and New York City<br />

Been a lot of places and I've seen a lot of people<br />

But I'm never going home, cause it looks so...
