lyrics

You can
run the red lights
At night
Where I’m from

There’s no one hiding out
In the dark
That’s going to come for you

But I stay
Dutifully
Waiting for the light to change

Where I’m from

In the daytime
I go blowing down the main road in a mask like a bandit
But no one runs away
They recognize the face
Of a man they know.
A man they’ve known
Since he was a kid

Back home

Can I be a wanted man on the wall
For obeying the laws
That were meant to be broken?
I’m sitting still in the car

No one needs to know
What I did to deserve it
And no one needs to come looking
I’ve been serving my own
Serving my own sentence

Trying to describe
Things exactly as I see them
And begging
Begging for disagreement
In a crowd coiled like a snake
I end up backing away
Slowly to save myself
Or trying to save face

In the Southern Midwest
Where I’m from
