100 American Town

Well some people say
You just count in miles, but I'm three weeks out
Of downtown boston
I packed my stuff up all in boxes
Headed south out for my town
I parked a car right down the street
Far from your neighbors
And I trade these boxes for the chance to say
(for the chance to say)

I spend most of my nights, in a crowded home
With the lights turned down, all around ya'
So you can't make out faces we used to know
I spend most of my nights, all alone
With the private school girls, and top 40 radio

So alli, look what you've done to me
You took a poor boy, and made him empty
So just spin around and twirl, like all of the university girls
It'll be the whole wide world before they, before they
Before they talk to me, yup.

I've got a motive and the worst intentions
I've made a story our of everything we've learned
If I were you I'd try to call this off, or maybe call the doctor
(so you get what you deserve)
So park your car, in the sea
Far from your neighbors
Invite me down for a place to stay
It isn't right, but it's better than yesterday

I spend most of my nights, in a crowded home
With the lights turned down all around ya'
So we can't make out faces we used to know
I spend most of my nights, all alone
With the private school girls, and top 40 radio

(chorus)

There's just a lesson here in growing up
I did the best that I could, but it wasn't enough
I learned everything I know from the rain and the sun
But girl in calling you, this is 101
I'd never leave you aloan, cause you'd spend it all
I could have used the attention, but you never call
I haven't swallowed one time since the last time we kissed
If you've found something stable, let me know how it is

So this is me, winter, summer, spring, and fall
So keep on thinking, that I'm singing about...
Nothing at all.

---Nothing at all ----

(I woke up the next morning
With a smile on my face, as much as it hurt me,
I headed over to the window.
The sun was shining, the grass was green, and
I headed out the car.
We drove over to the same old gas station
We'd been to a thousand times,
With the same guy working there time and time again.
And then we did the same thing we did the night before,
And it was at that exact moment I realized,
That everything was gonna be just fine.)

(I'm gonna talk you right out of, oh, that dress)
So alli look what you've done to me.
(you're the only one, you're the only one for me)

(I'm gonna talk you right out of, oh, that dress)
So alli look what you've done to me.
(you're the only one, you're the only one for me)

(so let's talk about)

You're the only one, you're the only one for me.
