American Aquarium - Stars and Scars lyrics

[American Aquarium - Stars and Scars lyrics]

Grew up in a small town twenty
Miles from the state line
Learned early on to work hard for
What I thought was mine
In the town that I call home
There are two types of folks
Those that find their way out
And there's those that don't

And I will give anything to
Live under those California stars, oh Lord
Guess I'll settle on these Carolina scars

So I packed up like a freight train
And I headed towards the lights
But the back of my daddy's Chevrolet was as
Far as I got that Saturday night
Like a good drug she got me high
Lord did she let me down
And left me here alone to
Die in this God-forsaken, one-horse town



And I would trade the money that I've
Made for one night under California stars
Oh Lord
Guess I'll settle on these Carolina scars

Now I am not ungrateful, please
Don't misunderstand
Just a gambler out here waitin'
On my winnin' hand
My daddy taught me the lesson
He had to teach himself
And to me that's more important than
Any kind of man made wealth

And I will return the lessons that I've
Learned for one night under California stars
Oh Lord
I'll just settle on these Carolina stars
Oh, I'll settle on these Carolina scars
Oh, I'll settle on these Carolina scars
