Home Team

Written March 2007

Tab

chalk one up for the home team,
time to start looking for a bigger dream,
when everyone on this hill is just trying to pay their cable bill,
so you’re stuck in your hometown,
feels like life is what’s going on somewhere else,
like time is standing still, but trust me, she never will,
+++ if you wonder, will it change?
+++ then I’d say, you’d best believe it,
+++ and if this means anything, you were everything to me..

outcast caught on the outskirts,
yeah, school is where you study new ways to hurt,
or learn to disappear, so you can move away from here,
but don’t give up on your family yet,
they’re mostly trying the best they can,
just some days that’s not so good, there in your local neighborhood,
+++ so you wonder, will it change,
+++ and I’d say, you’d best believe it,
+++ if this means anything, you were everything to me,
+++ as I watch the daylight fade, I’ve gotta thank the kids from Muncy,
+++ ‘cause they stuck around to hear the last one

I could be wrong, but I think I’ve got a song about your town,
though I have never been, but it sounds like it might be a cousin to my town..

one last cheer for the home team,
you can do better than a bigger screen,
while everyone in this town is just trying to pay their plastic down..
+++ if you wonder will it change, then I’d say you best believe it,
+++++ (I could be wrong, but I think I’ve got a song for your town..)
+++ and if this means anything, you were everything to me,
+++++ (stop me if I’m wrong, but I think I’ve got a song for your town..)
+++ as I watch the weekend fade, here’s to all the kids in Muncy,
+++++ (I’ve never been, but it sounds like a cousin to my town)
+++ may they find a song to keep them sane.. to keep them sane..
+++ if it’s anything to you, you were everything to me..

chalk one up for the home team.. (you best believe it)
chalk one up for the home team…
