If I Don't Go

I grew up in a small town
Where drinking’ was religion and
religion wasn’t fixing’ the problem
A nothing could solve ‘em
We were blue collar working class
Us swinging the hammer
Was the final nail in the coffin
Plagued by political nonsense
If I don’t get up and leave
God only knows where I’ll be
Stuck in a rut, not giving a ****
About anything or anyone
Drowning in drink and cigarette smoke
Devil’s got his hands around my throat
And I can’t ignore all the sirens ringing in my ears
If I don’t go I’m gonna die here
If I don’t go I’m gonna die here
I remember the night when
On a west end I hit a dead end
Runnin’ from the reaper
He was dressed like a dealer
And I can’t escape my best friend only made it to 18
The only one who could save me
Now there’s no one to save me
If I don’t get up and leave
God only knows where I’ll be
Stuck in a rut, not giving a ****
About anything or anyone
Drowning in drink and cigarette smoke
Devil’s got his hands around my throat
And I can’t ignore all the sirens ringing in my ears
If I don’t go I’m gonna die here
If I don’t go I’m gonna die here
I grew up in a small town
Where drinking’ was religion and
religion wasn’t fixing’ the problem
A nothing could solve ‘em
If I don’t get up and leave
God only knows where I’ll be
Stuck in a rut, not giving a ****
About anything or anyone
Drowning in drink and cigarette smoke
Devil’s got his hands around my throat
And I can’t ignore all the sirens ringing in my ears
If I don’t go I’m gonna die here
