aaron burdett - no stoplight town lyrics
[verse 1]
still livin’ in a no stoplight town
we stare each other down
like someone knows somethin’
they’re not tellin’
never looked farther than the south
how far ahead is now?
it was ten years ago
that my plans ran out
same small town storefront antique glass
same rippled reflection of me moving past
[chorus]
thinking hard ’bout second chances
peekin’ out from behind their fences, there’s
nothin’ can hold you down like the inertia
of a sweet little no stoplight town
[verse 2]
and to the left the valley road
where the lost and desperate go
the right’ll take you down to where the quarry closed
straight ahead into town
knows that we’re never leavin’
back behind me is the highway leads to dreamin’
and i stand at crossroads
with no good examples of which way to go
[chorus]
thinking hard ’bout second chances
peekin’ out from behind their fences, there’s
nothin’ can hold you down like the inertia
of a sweet little no stoplight town
[bridge]
the boys and girls hang around in that low side of town
with the poppies and the speed enough
they call it little afghanistan
and i won’t claim i never tried
to k!ll the pain that way
we’ve all got our crosses and we
take our comfort where we can
we’ve all got our crosses and we
take our comfort where we can
[chorus]
thinking hard ’bout second chances
peekin’ out from behind their fences, there’s
nothin’ can hold you down like the inertia
of a sweet little no stoplight town
