I hail from a small town

He drives around with that album that came out before you were gone.
she invests everything inside her pretty head, so opposite from me.

we hail from a small town,
where we envision ourselves hanging from bridges.
And we hail from a small town,
where those with personality are treated like lepers.

He wakes up everyday, looks n' sees what he hates: dissapointed family.
She wears the same coat every night, it's made of lies to impress her friends.

we hail from a small town,
where the green river is so beautiful.
And we hail from a small town,
where god lives between the leaves of cotton trees.

When you say you want out,
I will pray for you, pray for you, pray for you.

And when you see it's beautiful,
will you pray for me, pray for me, pray for me?

we hail from a small town,
where the girl with ocean eyes holds my heart.
And we hail from a small town,
where we birth and grow and live and die again.
