Brandon Ratcliff - Tale Of Two Towns lyrics
[Brandon Ratcliff - Tale Of Two Towns lyrics]
This wreckage was once the thriving little
Town of Cotton Valley, Louisiana once again
An American town faces the task of
Rebuilding from the ground up
Got friends back there
Went from kids to fathers
Just like their fathers went from
Raising hell to raising daughters
It's blue jersey straight to blue collars
Don't dream no farther than
That city limit sign
I feel a little free, feel a little guilty
'Cause I grew a little bit
And now it don't fit me
Gotta give it credit for the man I am
But I gotta lot of questions
On the other hand
Did my parents settle
When they settled down?
Are you more brave for
Leaving or sticking around?
It's one dot on a map
But a tale of two towns
Thank God I grew up there
Thank God I got out
Sometimes I wonder who I'd had married
Would I be happy barely if I stayed?
Thought of waiting another year
Straight up scares me
'Cause there comes a time
When it's too late and that muddy
Water turns into quicksand
And you say you're gonna leave
But you know can't
Did my parents settle
When they settled down?
Are you more brave for
Leaving or sticking around?
It's one dot on a map
But a tale of two towns
Thank God I grew up there
Thank God I got out
It's all in the way that
You look at those memories
If that water tower's half full
Or half empty
Did my parents settle
When they settled down?
Are you more brave for
Leaving or sticking around?
It's one dot on a map
But a tale of two towns
Thank God I grew up there
Thank God I got out
Thank God I grew up there
Thank God I got out
Thank God I grew up there
Thank God I got out
Town of Cotton Valley, Louisiana once again
An American town faces the task of
Rebuilding from the ground up
Got friends back there
Went from kids to fathers
Just like their fathers went from
Raising hell to raising daughters
It's blue jersey straight to blue collars
Don't dream no farther than
That city limit sign
I feel a little free, feel a little guilty
'Cause I grew a little bit
And now it don't fit me
Gotta give it credit for the man I am
But I gotta lot of questions
On the other hand
Did my parents settle
When they settled down?
Are you more brave for
Leaving or sticking around?
It's one dot on a map
But a tale of two towns
Thank God I grew up there
Thank God I got out
Sometimes I wonder who I'd had married
Would I be happy barely if I stayed?
Thought of waiting another year
Straight up scares me
'Cause there comes a time
When it's too late and that muddy
Water turns into quicksand
And you say you're gonna leave
But you know can't
Did my parents settle
When they settled down?
Are you more brave for
Leaving or sticking around?
It's one dot on a map
But a tale of two towns
Thank God I grew up there
Thank God I got out

Or half empty

But a tale of two towns
Thank God I grew up there
Thank God I got out
Thank God I grew up there
Thank God I got out
Thank God I grew up there
Thank God I got out
