Brother Roscoe - Deadtown Lyrics

There's fire on the mountain
There's water on the ground
Our poor hearts are poundin'
There's ashes comin' down

It doesn't snow that often
Livin' in between two lands
Our teardrops they kept fallin'
When they took away your dad

We won't turn around
We won't come back now
We're too old for this here town
At least that's what we hope

We were in the army
Damn near all our lives
Our parents told us we were crazy
But we were never gonna die

Growing up is easy
But being grown takes too much time
We all grew up in the country
Now we've left it all behind

We won't turn around
We won't come back now
We're too young for this damn town
At least that's what I wrote

We're all grown lookin' back now
This town has taken so many lives
Those of us who didn't make it out
Are still trapped on the inside

I bet you looked like an angel
That day in your weddin' gown
Growin' up here sure was painful
Sometimes I can't help but hate this town

We won't turn around
We won't turn back now
We won't grow out of this town
We won't get out
