Winesburg

Three weeks from now
These roads will be streets that I used to burn down
And I don't know how to feel about it
Three weeks from now
I'll be telling Momma goodbye
Trying not to break down as she starts to cry
And ask why I had to leave so early

There's something profound
In this insignificant one horse town
And maybe by leaving I'll realize what that is
So sticking around has little benefit
But thinking that sure ain't helping this shred of doubt
That's churning deep inside my stomach

So don't think that I'm runnin' away
I just wanna see all y'all seein' me play
Don't worry Pop if you don't see me around
I know I'll be back but it's still hard on me
I don't really want to leave
I just need to move faster than my hometown

These Wineburg stars shine brighter
Than any Cincinnati streetlights ever could
And I'm sure those hipster restaurants
Won't make Crock-Pot meals like Miss Ina would

Maybe I'll have some fun
Livin' the urban way
But high school beer tastes better
Than any 8 dollar IPA

So don't think that I'm runnin' away
I just wanna see all y'all seein' me play
Don't worry Pop if you don't see me around
I know I'll be back but it's still hard on me
I don't really want to leave
I just need to move faster than my hometown

So don't think that I'm runnin' away
I just wanna see all y'all seein' me play
Don't worry Pop if you don't see me around
I know I'll be back but it's still hard on me
I don't really want to leave
I just need to move faster than my hometown
So don't think that I'm runnin' away
I just wanna see all y'all seein' me play
Don't worry Pop if you don't see me around
I know I'll be back but it's still hard on me
I don't really want to leave
I just need to move faster than my hometown

My hometown
