Текст песни Southern Sadness - American Aquarium

Ever since the day I could talk
I cursed every streetlight in this town
Swore to all my friends I'd be the one to make it out
Just find a place to settle down far from here

"Don't get above your raising boy"
That's what my mama would alway say
Well I never understood what she meant
Until the other day
When I turned to walk away from this town
My head hung down

There's a certain kind of despair
It hangs heavy in the air
And everywhere I go, I'll always smell the Piedmont Pines
And there's a southern sadness
That won't let go of this heart of mine

And so I spent the next couple years
Just burning every bridge I crossed
Yeah I broke my fair share of hearts along the way
I used them up, I walked away and realised
That no matter how far you roam
You never gonna feal at home
I was told one day, that I find what I need
You know what it really means to care
And I still hear

There's a certain kind of despair
It hangs heavy in the air
And everywhere I go I'll always smell the Piedmont Pines
And there's a southern sadness
That won't let go of this heart of mine

Would I be a liar if I said I was proud?
With all the words that I've let out of my mouth
Oh all these deep dark twisted roads I went down, down, down
It's where I found

There's a certain kind of despair
It hangs heavy in the air
And everywhere I go I'll always smell the Piedmont Pines
And there's a southern sadness
That won't let go of this heart of mine

Won't let go, this heart of mine
