๐ Lyrics
Well I was born in the valley of the Cape Fear river
About a thirty minute drive to the south of Virginia
A north star of this great state
At least that's what the sign said
In a town where you either had or you didn't
My Daddy worked a seven to five just to give me
A fighting chance to make it out
And not end up like him
Well I ain't the man
Half the man my Daddy was
Half the man he wanted me to be
So I packed up, cashed my chips and pointed that car east
No idea where I was going
Anywhere but here'd work for me
Somehow I still think I made him proud
Just by getting out
Either you jail locked up or you join the core
You work the grill at Pete's burgers and more
You buy a map and pick a spot, drive as fast as you can
'Cause falling down here is all too real
Broken dreams and tobacco fields
Hollow shells with hardened eyes
That didn't make it out
They're either Dropped Out or Knocked Up
That high school girl that they thought they loved
Now their life revolves around diapers and direct TV
We aren't the men
We aren't the men our fathers were
We aren't the men they wanted us to be
So I packed up, cashed my chips and pointed that car east
No idea where I was going
Anywhere but here'd work for me
Somehow I still think I made him proud
Just by getting out
Well I was born in the valley of the Cape Fear river
About a thirty minute drive to the south of Virginia
A north star of this great state
At least that's what the sign said
About a thirty minute drive to the south of Virginia
A north star of this great state
At least that's what the sign said
In a town where you either had or you didn't
My Daddy worked a seven to five just to give me
A fighting chance to make it out
And not end up like him
Well I ain't the man
Half the man my Daddy was
Half the man he wanted me to be
So I packed up, cashed my chips and pointed that car east
No idea where I was going
Anywhere but here'd work for me
Somehow I still think I made him proud
Just by getting out
Either you jail locked up or you join the core
You work the grill at Pete's burgers and more
You buy a map and pick a spot, drive as fast as you can
'Cause falling down here is all too real
Broken dreams and tobacco fields
Hollow shells with hardened eyes
That didn't make it out
They're either Dropped Out or Knocked Up
That high school girl that they thought they loved
Now their life revolves around diapers and direct TV
We aren't the men
We aren't the men our fathers were
We aren't the men they wanted us to be
So I packed up, cashed my chips and pointed that car east
No idea where I was going
Anywhere but here'd work for me
Somehow I still think I made him proud
Just by getting out
Well I was born in the valley of the Cape Fear river
About a thirty minute drive to the south of Virginia
A north star of this great state
At least that's what the sign said
