American Aquarium - Southern Sadness lyrics
[American Aquarium - Southern Sadness lyrics]
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
