C
And I sing songs about the past
How I was raised and I was thrown out on my ass
F C
Cause I didn't care about going to school
C
And I saw the look in her eyes
F
My mother nearly cried when I had told her that I wanted to go
C
Just to prove them wrong
C Am F
I've been smoking cigarettes since I was only fourteen
G Am F C
Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me
C
And I sing songs about my friends
F
The way we grew up and all the loose ends we used to laugh
C
Cause we didn't give a damn
C
And I saw the look in my brother's eyes
When I told him I was leaving
F
He could help but despise me
C
He wanted out his whole life

(Repeat Above)
I plead for relief.
This town won't receive all the things that I want, the things that I need.
And I'll be and I'll beg.
I'm down on my knees.
Momma oh momma let me please leave.
I plead for relief.
This town won't receive all the things that I want, the things that I need.
And I'll beg.
F Fm C
All I ever wanted was love.
