"Small Town Heroes" lyrics
"Small Town Heroes"
She was the queen
She got all her drugs for free
She walked up to her daddy's door
He said, "You don't live here anymore"
She wanted love, wanted love
Oh, but she just couldn't get enough
And my man, he wanders 'round
Well, he let's all those young women down
And they say, "Darling, oh, can't you stay?"
But he says, "Baby, already on my way"
They wanted love, wanted love
Oh, but they just couldn't get enough
Well, all these people and all these things
What's the point in a wedding ring?
We might not be here when next year comes
You better watch your back and carry a gun
Baby girl, where did you go?
I threw you out where the cold wind blows
Are you in Vidalia with your no-good mom?
Just couldn't watch you stick it in your arm
I wanted love, wanted love
Oh, but I just couldn't give enough
From the boogie-down to Bowling Green
I rode the night train to infinity
I tempted fate and I acted smart
I grew some callous on my heart
I wanted love, wanted love
Oh, but I just couldn't give enough, enough
Well, all these places, and all these towns
What's the point in settling down?
We might not be here when next year comes
You better live it like you're on the run

M. Ward - "Here Comes The Sun Again" Kingdoms and queens they all bow down to you
Ranches and ranch hands are bowing too

The Felice Brothers - "Little Ann" Little Ann's in the kitchen in her modern gown
With the rainy weather coming down
Oh the radio does play

I come here to watch other people know
What I can only guess at, 'cause I'm never sure
And I don't like commitment if there's something more

The Staves - "I'll Never Leave You Alone" I'm a horse, I'm a dog, I'm a sparrow
I'm a spider inside you
Trying to keep you off the straight and narrow
Pick me up, put me down, let me dangle
I'm a carrot on a string
I'm the sword as it hangs...
