She went away for the holidays said she's
Going to L.A. but she never got there
She never got there, she never got there, they say

She went away for the holidays said she's
Going to L.A. but she never got there
She never got there, she never got there, they say

The KKK took my baby away they took her away
Away from me The KKK took my baby away
They took her away away from me

Now I don't know where my baby can be they
Took her away from me They took her away from me
I don't know where my baby can be They took
Her away from mr They took her away from me

Ring me, ring me, ring me up the President
And finf out where my baby went
Ring me, ring me, ring me up the FBI and find
Out if baby's alive yeah, yeah, yeah

O-o-o-o-o-o O-o-o-o-o-o
She went away for holidays She went away for holidays

The KKK took my baby away The KKK took my baby away
They took my girl they took my baby away

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
