Small Town Hypocrite

Hand me down dreams got me high in the rafters. Homecoming queen couldn't be an outsider. So there I'd sit, with a cigarette lit in a leather jacket. I found a boy who was a stranger too. In a one-horse town at a stable for two. We had matching scars and matching tattoos. Both dying to fit in. Ain't that some shit.

Just small-town hypocrites

And that scholarship was a ship that sailed When I chose you and daddy gave me hell I made myself into someone else just to love you, damn I loved you. Took all my plans and I put 'em in a box. Phantom pains for the wings I lost. Had me circling rings in the catalogs. For seven years and you never got the hint. Ain't that some shit

Just a small-town hypocrite

Swore we'd be running, running, running this town. But you're just running, running, running around. And I'm staring at a picket fence, wondering where the hell time went. I should've been running, running, running by now But I just hang around. Love shot me out like a rocket. Never to return and man, I forgot it. How it feels to fall from orbit and land on shifting sands I found my heart at the bottom of a bucket. You said you needed space and damnit I bought it 'Till you moved in a vinyl sided double wide with a couple of her kids. Ain't that some shit

You're just a small-town hypocrite.

Swore we'd be running, running, running this town. But you're still running, running, running around And I'm staring at a picket fence. Wondering where the hell time went I should've been running, running, running by now.

But I just hang around. Now I bitch about how things turned and how they should've been. The bridges that I burned and the trains I didn't catch

Like a small-town hypocrite Just a small-town hypocrite
