The Past 歌词

And I sing songs about the past How I was raised and I was thrown out on my ass Cause I didn't care About going to school And I saw the look in her eyes My mother nearly cried when I had told her that I had wanted to go Just to prove them wrong I've been smoking cigarettes since I was only fourteen Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me And I sing songs about my friends The way we grew up, and all the lose ends we used to laugh Cause we didn't give a damn And I saw the look in my brother's eyes When I told him I was leaving he couldn't help but despise me He's wanted out his whole life I've been smoking the green since I was merely sixteen Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me And I sing songs about the past I plead for relief This town won't receive All the things that I want The things that I need And I'll beg and I'll beg I'm down on my knees Mama, oh mama Let me please leave I plead for relief This town won't receive All the things that I want The things that I need All I ever wanted was love
