Small Town Hypocrite

Lyrics

Hand me down dreams got me high in the rafters
 Homecoming queen couldn't be an outsider
 So there I'd sit, with a cigarette lit in a leather jacket
 I found a boy who was a stranger too
 In a one-horse town at a stable for two
 We had matching scars and matching tattoos
 Both dying to fit in
 Ain't that some shit
 
 We're just small-town hypocrites
 ♪
 And that scholarship was a ship that sailed
 When I chose you and daddy gave me hell
 I made myself into someone else just to love you, damn I loved you
 Took all my plans and I put 'em in a box
 Phantom pains for the wings I lost
 Had me circling rings in the catalogs
 For seven years and you never got the hint
 Ain't that some shit
 I'm just a small-town hypocrite
 ♪
 Swore we'd be running, running, running this town
 But you're just running, running, running around
 And I'm staring at a picket fence
 Wondering where the hell time went
 I should've been running, running, running by now
 But I just hang around
 ♪
 Love shot me out like a rocket
 Never to return and man, I forgot it
 How it feels to fall from orbit and land on shifting sands
 I found my heart at the bottom of a bucket
 You said you needed space and damnit I bought it
 'Till you moved in a vinyl sided double wide with a couple of her kids
 Ain't that some shit
 You're just a small-town hypocrite (Oooh, oooh, ooooh)
 Swore we'd be running, running, running this town
 But you're still running, running, running around
 And I'm staring at a picket fence
 Wondering where the hell time went
 I should've been running, running, running by now
 But I just hang around
 (Ooh) Now I bitch about how things turned and how they should've been
 The bridges that I burned and the trains I didn't catch
 Like a small-town hypocrite
 
 Just a small-town hypocrite
