lyrics

if I've outlived my glory days
give me one good reason I should stay
no I think it's time I made a change
and moved just a few states out
just because I'm moving on
that don't mean I'm giving up
no I've made up my mind
I'm throwing down the gloves
there's other ways to keep up the fight

so I ran the devil through with his own pitchfork
I said you got two or three good points but I can't be the advocate for you
there are times in our lives where we must hold fast to the truth
no matter how much they're compelling

even though it's a southern town
I'm locking my front door when I go out
leave a challenge for the kids who're sneaking round
if you want in kid you gotta commit
I'll shake your hand when you say your name
but that don't mean I'll commit it to my brain
if there's one thing that I got to explain
I met you that don't make us friends

so I ran the devil through with his own pitchfork
I said you got two or three good points but I can't be the advocate for you
there are times in our lives where we must hold fast to the truth
no matter how much they're compelling and

ain't nobody ever gonna leave this town
it's become some kinda shelter for the wicked
leave your burdens outside the city limits
just make sure your fences are picket
so we can see through
if we need to
and I think we'll need to
yeah we'll keep our eye on you

so I ran the devil through with his own pitchfork
I said you got two or three good points but I can't be the advocate for you
there are times in our lives where we must hold fast to the truth
no matter how much they're compelling and

ain't nobody ever gonna leave this town
it's become some kinda shelter for the wicked
leave your burdens outside the city limits
just make sure your fences are picket
so we can see through
