The Soil We Grew Up In
These little hills so steep
It’s how they keep us in their town
Got our skin so thick
We’ll never get out
But are we ever bound for wondering
Were we poisoned by the soil we grew up in?
In love with any place around the bend
Never to love the place we’re in
Never to love the place we’re in
Don’t want to know if
He’s counting all my sins
I’ll think of better ways
To imagine him
Is he ever bound for wondering
Why we’re poisoning the soil we grew up in?
Inspired by the fire of his words
And if he’s peaceful we ain’t heard
And if he’s peaceful we ain’t heard
Study the life and times
Of celebrity
You’re looking for your kind
In the magazines
Are you ever bound for wondering
Were you poisoned by the soil you grew up in?
Love for anyone but not yourself
Maybe the magazines don’t help
Baby the magazines don’t help
Are we ever bound for wondering…
