Tale of Two Towns

Lyrics
[Intro] This scattered wreckage was once the thriving little town of Cotton Valley, Louisiana. Once again, an American town faces the task of rebuilding from the ground up [Verse 1] Got friends back there, went from kids to fathers Just like their fathers went, from raising hell, to raising daughters It's blue jersey straight to blue collars Don't dream no farther than that, city limit sign I feel a little free, feel a little guilty 'Cause I grew a little bit, and now it don't fit me Gotta give it credit for the man I am But I gotta lot of questions on the other hand [Chorus] Did my parents settle, when they settled down? Are you more brave for leaving, or sticking around? It's one dot on a map, but a tale of two towns Thank God I grew up there, thank God I got out [Verse 2] Sometimes I wonder who I'd had married Would I be happy barely if I stayed? Thought of waiting another year straight up scares me 'Cause there comes a time when it's too late And that muddy water turns into quicksand And you say you're gonna leave, but you know can't [Chorus] Did my parents settle when they settled down? Are you more brave for leaving, or sticking around? It's one dot on a map, but a tale of two towns Thank God I grew up there, thank God I got out [Bridge] It's all in the way that you look at those memories If that water tower's half full Or half empty [Chorus] Did my parents settle, when they settled down? Are you more brave for leaving or sticking around? It's one dot on a map, but a tale of two towns Thank God I grew up there, thank God I got out Thank God I grew up there, thank God I got out Thank God I grew up there, thank God I got out
