Townie 가사

I'm moving back to my college town Where no one is gonna recognize me I'm too old now But I know you're graduating And part of me is starved to see your face At the Hannafords But I know it's quite unlikely For our paths to cross when they once so naturally Overlapped a lot But I never really thought That phone call would be the last time we talked And now I'm just a townie Writing songs about trains from Poughkeepsie And you'll move on somewhere to make a living In a bigger city No I'm not retrogressing But every time I walk by That old movie theater I am caught by surprise And I wonder how much time In between Since they've changed the sign And it's not empty There's a dive bar inside Order anything Get hit on for the same price Yeah it's a lacking Atmosphere But there's worse things than friendly cashiers And now I'm just a towniee Writing songs about trains from Poughkeepsie And you'll move on somewhere to make a living In a bigger city There's so much in my reach This is more than a retreat From corridors and skyscrapers And busy streets There's so much I'm seeking I'll find it on some Mountain peak Clinging to that feeling of belonging 'Cause now I'm just a townie Now I'm just a townie Writing songs about trains from Poughkeepsie And you'll move on somewhere to make a living 'Cause now I'm just a townie Walking along the bays of Tivoli The river carving out Across the valley Seamlessly
