Can't Kick up the Roots

The golden groves are lined with affluence and roses

But the bagheads down by Central Station are closer to where home is

It can be grim and send you West from time to time

Yeah, this place is such a shipwreck

But this shipwreck, it is mineDay by day we grew to love this place

And where I make my grave, my anchor laysI've been wasting away

But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway

If you're looking for a place to decay

Then there will always be a place in my town called revelryI've seen a punch or two

Narrowly escaped a few

And if you can get the day off, I could show you a view

I remember the football games

The first time that I got laid

And the time J broke his finger drinking by the lakeDay by day we grew to love this place

And where I make my grave is where my anchor lays

The sound of my youth echoes out through these empty streets

I guess I can't kick up the roots

It's home, and that's the truthI've been wasting away

But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway

If you're looking for a place to decay

Then there will always be a place in my town called revelryWe know what it's like to be put down

So fuck you to the world, and stand your ground

We know how to turn it inside out and get a little bit rowdyWe know what it's like to be put down

So fuck you to the world, and stand your ground

We know how to turn it inside out and get a little bitI've been wasting away

But in a town with no way out, there's not much else to do anyway

If you're looking for a place to decay (to decay)

Then there will always be a place in my town called revelryI'm not stuck I'm staying (I'm not stuck I'm staying)

Yeah I said, I'm not stuck I'm staying (I'm not stuck I'm staying)

And if you've got sorrows to drown and the bottom's where you're bound

You will always have a place in my town called revelry
