Lyrics:
1) Back Then
my old highway exit looks so much different
but the water tower still looks the same
what if the town runs dry and no one else needs us
another power outage in the rain

I didn’t tell anyone I was coming home and I stayed for 3 months
spent the summer in South Carolina doing what I want
clouds as tall as mountains, it was humid as can be
Carolina sun was burning up everything
(everything)

2) Sidelines
I was on the field on a Friday night
3rd string, had to swallow my pride
I got thrown in on a 4th and 5
just so they could take a knee
oh I was only thinking about my 6 string

I remember coach tryna break us down
2 a days had us passin out
this week we gotta play away
home team just came from state
lost by 6, that's the worst way

damn, bus ride back had a sour taste
had a revelation bout where I wanna be
I was drained of patience and my energy
just to find out I played the wrong game
I was thinking bout my 6 string

heatwave ain't ever takin breaks
we would find shade in the cemetery
drove a couple hours to the angel oak
heavy conversation with a little smoke

mama's cookin up corn meal grains
daddy's yellin at the football game
I was upstairs tryna make a name
I was upstairs with my 6 string

3) Sandhills:
white hot sand in my socks again
fire ants aimlessly biting in

saved again by calamine
another bite
this happens time to time
I’m spotted white

maybe it's just where I’m from
I had always had guard up
but hypocrites keep strollin in
and rubbin on my shoulder

white hot sand in my socks again

4) The View:
I found an arrowhead down by the creek
bulldozer stirred up the orange clay beneath
they put in a new high school that opens next week
they say it's got new technology that cannot compete

but I doubt it
I’m sure they'll find something to blame
I doubt it'll change

they put in a new garden store down by the church
after the service we go by some dirt
it went from a plastic bag back to the earth
I’d like to think I’m nothing different

but I doubt it
I’m sure I’ll find something to blame
I doubt it'll change
(ou)

5) Said Goodbye To Rock n Roll:
said goodbye to rock n roll
baby said it made me cold
but instead, i tell myself
that it’s all just for my health
but instead, i tell myself
that it’s all just for my health

spent a decade on the road
with a suitcase for a home
better rest up for the show
so say goodbye to rock n roll
better rest up for the show
so say goodbye to rock n roll
(the show called life that is)
