Intro
N.C.
So I'm playin' the drums, right? Okay
[Verso 1]
D G Em
Davie died in the summertime in a hotboxed car
D G Em
With a seatbelt 'round his neck and a needle in his arm
D G Em
We'd smoke out in the parkin' lot behind convenient shops
D G Em
A bought a couple of grams of weed off him, but so did all the cops
D G Em
Back then, the kids from other county, we would walk out in the heat
D G Em
'Long the train tracks with our paper bags, and gravel in our feet
D G Em
In our heads, we picked the husband from the hundred men we knew
D G Em
But I kissed a poster of a pop star and checked my breasts in cas they grew
[Refrão]
D G Em
Ther ain't a reason on this earth I'd go back to my hometown
D G Em
Somewhere in the clouds, Davie's runnin' for a touchdown
D G Em
The crowd appears and his mother cheers, she's wavin' from the field
D G Em
And he's evergreen as seventeen for the last eleven years
[Pré-Refrão]
D G Em
Ooh-ooh, ah
D G Em
Ooh-ooh, ah
[Verso 2]
D G Em
No, I never felt like anyone, I was a paradoxul lie
D G Em
I didn't think that I was special, but I was too afraid to die
D G Em
Like the others from my high school, all those sad suburban ghosts
D G Em
Trapped in a cross next to a highway, while the rest of us get old
[Refrão]

There ain't a reason on this earth I'd go back to my hometown

[Ponte]
D G Em
The American dream means stayin' young forever
D G Em
And the picture in our pamphlet gettin' yellow from the weather
D G Em
And years will pass since science class and I might forget your name
D G Em
But when the crow's feet come, the kingdom come, well, you'll always look the same
[Refrão]
D G A
There ain't a reason on this earth I'd go back to my hometown
D G Em
Somewhere in the clouds, Davie's runnin' for a touchdown
