Jonathan Menchin - My Hometown lyrics

There's a picture in the restroom of a volleyball charade Next to sidewalk conversations with a man on roller blades He's playin' metal on the corner and he's been since seventy And his lunch was twenty dollars but you know it's gluten free And hey, I've been down this road Hey, I've been down this road I remember high school like a panoramic dream But there were days and weeks and months where I was somewhere in between And I learned to learn wisely, and I learned about touch And I thought I knew disaster and I thought I knew too much Hey, I've been down this road Hey, I've been down this road [Chorus] And the memories point backwards Where the people are the same And they're painting picket fences on the wire Things have changed, things will change in my hometown Things will change in my hometown There are movie stars in makeup in the supermarket line My taxi driver tells me “don't you worry, Lindsay's fine” And everyone has watches on but nobody has time It's the price of sleeping Saturdays with angels close behind Hey, I've been down this road Hey, I've been down this road That city taught me everything , it brought me my first love And the drunken dating afterwards when that one was enough It taught me about d**h and what it means to stay alive There was an evening on a corner in July I almost died But hey, I've been down that road Hey, I've been down this road [Repeat Chorus] Just a bike stampede at midnight And latte with soy foam And January miniskirts reminding you you're home Hey, when I take that road Hey, I've been down that road
