your daddy told you you would rise above the run down shadows of this town you love but bussing tables seems to pay the bills your mama's legacy, you're test of will
pre-chorus:
you're a rag-top angel, you're amazing grace time to gamble on the life we chase
chorus:
take a last look out on turn the keys and we're gone who cares if monday there'll be hell to pay we've got miles to go and i will drive it slow and we are takin off today we're takin off
i always knew you'd be the girl for me you went on bout the place you would one day see but months and years can pass like fire flies till all you're left with is the passing time
pre-chorus
chorus
bridge:
i've had notions bout this skeleton town one lucky storm could take the whole place down and there you're standing with your eyes like mine dare it all to take us down this time
