Town Born Child

from Trouble Came by Roy Gurel

lyrics

Well I’m a town born child
I’ve got braces on my name
And you can bet when I show up
I bring all my ghosts with me

Well I’m a town born son
And when the morning comes
I wash off the dust of the dreams
That I never got done

Now I’m keeping an eye out for you
Cause you come from where I want to go to
You’ve got the melodies and music in your ear
So sing this town born child away from here

Well I’m a town born son
And all my teachers knew my brothers
And when I stepped into a classroom
I was just like the others

I’m a town born child
But my mind’s been wondering out for a while
And I never pushed fast or forward
But I always could hold my tongue and force a smile

Now I’m keeping an eye out for you
Cause you come from where I want to go to
You’ve got the melodies and music in your ear
So sing this town born child away from here

On my own driving home
I dream of summer in the winter
Summer in the winter
And when spring comes on I skip my stones
But never watch when they go under
Watch when they go under and down

Now I’m keeping an eye out for you
Cause you come from where I want to go to
You’ve got the melodies and music in your ear
So sing this town born child away from here
