Johnny Viti - Mt. Greenwood lyrics

Don't limit yourself, end quote, the words stuck/ Branch out and leave with a little bit of luck/ Follow your heart, be young and ambitious/ Burn a couple bridges if they're blocking your vision/ High school days just kickin in the basement/ Now my friends are all grown and famous/ Just a couple of kids, southside of Chicago/ Found a way out, that soon i'm gonna follow/ Nothing here grows, no, it withers and dies/ It doesn't take a brain, just a couple of eyes/ And a couple of lies to get through the day/ Will sh** get better man? it's hard to say/ The age goes up as the drinks go down/ You hit the ground, a familiar sound/ You laugh it off with your drunken friends/ Then wait til tomorrow, and do it all again/ A tradesman town where I don't belong/ Where black and white don't get along/ And they think they're right but they're oh so wrong/ I never even liked it here, I'm gone/ But when the sun comes up, I'll be right here/ My emotions stuck, so cavalier/ This place is fused in my bones and skin/ I wanna get out, but it's pulling me in/ A window pane, with every house the same/ With an Irish name behind every shade/ With a busch light can in every alley way/ And a goddamn s*ut with a fake tan spray/ It was fun as a kid man, a helluva blast/ But once we got older, it died real fast/ The first to grow up, but I'm probably the last/ I wanna get out but I'm attached to the past/ It's f**ing dumb though, this place is done yo/ I can't believe that I love it so so/ Go to work, get home, grab a beer, get drunk/ Every day got me saying what the f**/ But that ain't me, no, it's everyone else/ And I'm not gonna fold with the cards I'm dealt/ I gotta get out, but I don't know how/ It's draggin me down 6 feet in the ground/ A tradesman town where I don't belong/ Where black and white don't get along/ And they think they're right but they're oh so wrong/ I never even liked it here, I'm gone/ But when the sun comes up, I'll be right here/ My emotions stuck, so cavalier/ This place is fused in my bones and skin/ I wanna get out, but it's pulling me in/ I love it and hate it but the love is getting faded/ The past is dead and my emotions jaded/ An ambitious kid now turned to dust/ His dreams were gone when reality struck/ And he had a chance, yeah, to get it all back/ But he was too far gone, never swung the bat/ And he lost a friend who was beaming bright/ As he pulled away when he was shown the light/ It breaks my heart just to watch it happen/ I remember that kid when he was full of pa**ion/ He spread it around like a f**in disease/ He always upbeat and he made me believe/ But now that's gone I can see it in his eyes/ I wanna know the time that his mind fully died/ And I wish he knew the impact that he had/ It's too late now man and that's too bad/ A tradesman town where I don't belong/ Where black and white don't get along/ And they think they're right but they're oh so wrong/ I never even liked it here, I'm gone/ But when the sun comes up, I'll be right here/ My emotions stuck, so cavalier/ This place is fused in my bones and skin/ I wanna get out, but it's pulling me in/
