American Aquarium - Southern Sadness lyrics

Ever since the day I could talk I cursed at the streetlight in this town Swore to all my friends I'd be the one to make it out Find a place to settle down far from here Don't get above your raising boy That's what my mama always say And I never understood what she meant Until the other day When I turned to walk away from this town My head hung down Cuz there's a certain kind of despair It hangs heavy in the air And everywhere I go I'll always smell the Piedmont Pines And there's a southern sadness that won't let go of this heart of mine So I spent the next couple years Burning every bridge I crossed Yeah I broke my fair share of hearts along the way I used them up I walked away and realised That no matter how far you roam You never gonna feal at home I just hope one day that I find what I need You know what it really means to care Cuz there's a certain kind of despair It hangs heavy in the air And everywhere I go I'll always smell the Piedmont Pines And there's a southern sadness that won't let go of this heart of mine And I'd be a liar if I said I was proud And all the words that I've let out of my mouth And all these deep dark twisted roads I went down down down It's where I found There's a certain kind of despair It hangs heavy in the air And everywhere I go I'll always smell the Piedmont Pines And there's a southern sadness that won't let go of this heart of mine
