The Past Lyrics
And I sing songs about the past
How I was raised
And I was thrown out on my ass
Cause I didn't care
About going to school
And I saw the look in her eyes
My mother nearly cried
When I told her that I wanted to go
Just to prove them wrong
I've been smoking cigarettes
Since I was only fourteen
Just to find an escape
From this town that was so mean to me
And I sing songs about my friends
The way we grew up
And all the loose ends we used to laugh
Cause we didn't give a damn
And I saw the look in my brother's eyes
When I told him I was leaving
He couldn't help but despise me
He's wanted out his whole life
I've been smoking the green
Since I was merely sixteen
Just to find an escape
From this town that was so mean to me
And I sing songs about the past
I plead for relief
This town won't recieve
All the things that I want
The things that I need
And I'll beg and I'll beg
I'm down on my knees
Mama, oh Mama
Please let me leave
I plead for relief
This town won't recieve
All the things that I want
The things that I need
And I'll beg
All I ever wanted was love
How I was raised
And I was thrown out on my ass
Cause I didn't care
About going to school
My mother nearly cried
When I told her that I wanted to go
Just to prove them wrong
Since I was only fourteen
Just to find an escape
From this town that was so mean to me
The way we grew up
And all the loose ends we used to laugh
Cause we didn't give a damn
When I told him I was leaving
He couldn't help but despise me
He's wanted out his whole life
Since I was merely sixteen
Just to find an escape
From this town that was so mean to me
This town won't recieve
All the things that I want
The things that I need
And I'll beg and I'll beg
I'm down on my knees
Mama, oh Mama
Please let me leave
This town won't recieve
All the things that I want
The things that I need
And I'll beg
