lyrics
In a dusty old town, where the sun beats down,
There's a boy with a heart weighed down by frowns.
His daddy's fists are like thunder in the night, (in the night)
His mama's drowning sorrows, drowning in her plight.
With nothing but hope, he left that forsaken land,
Trails of tears marked his journey, no one to lend a hand.
Through neon lights and city streets he roamed,
But the demons of his past, they followed him, they owned.
He packed his dreams, left the pain behind,
Chasing hope, in the city he'd find.
But destiny, relentless and unkind,
His dreams shattered, forever confined..
He stepped off the bus into the city haze
No friends, no money, just a broken gaze (gaze)
The people stared, eyes like burning coals
Offered him a helping hand, but it's a story untold (yeah yeah)
They took him in, showed him a world he'd never seen
Gave him a taste of the life he thought he'd dream (dream)
But behind their smiles, a darkness hid
Innocence lost as he fell into their grid (grid)
He packed his dreams, left the pain behind,
Chasing hope, in the city he'd find.
But destiny, relentless and unkind,
His dreams shattered, forever confined..
Police found him on the roadside, cold and alone,
No trace of the dreams he once called his own.
Just a tragic end to a life so bleak,
In the silence of the night, no words to speak.
Now he lies by the roadside, his spirit laid bare,
No one to mourn him, no one to care.
With his dreams in tatters, and his heart torn apart,
He found no solace, just a cold, empty heart.
He packed his dreams, left the pain behind,
Chasing hope, in the city he'd find.
But destiny, relentless and unkind,
His dreams shattered, forever confined..
So here lies a story of a life so cruel,
Of a boy who never found his way, just a fool.
In the arms of despair, he found his final repose,
Another tragic tale, another life lost, nobody knows.
Another tragic tale, another life lost,
nobody knows.
