Our sweet mothers loved flawed angels with their quiet ways
Fathers with a stern voice their hand showing us the way
Brothers sisters never missed them always in the way
Life together too much smothered in each other’s face
Growing up to find out if we could just get out we just had to get away
Got a job down in the city where they have good pay
Watch the people in the steeples living for some day
We all go in circles but the centers aren’t the same
Just keep going without knowing why we change our ways
We grew up to find out if we could just get out we just had to get away
Now momma says that life, well, it’s just happenin’
Daddy says that he can’t change
But just because you don’t push doesn’t mean you stop, no
We all go, yeah we all find a way
We grew up to find out if we could just get out only to come back to stay
Keep making other plans
We grew up to find out if we could just get out only to come back to stay
