I woke up today, walked around
It's morning in my town
To the CVS drugstore, got the coffee
and I'm brewing it right now
It's not my brand, but it's percolating
making that nice sound
the sun is up now, another day spent living in the south
Everybody hurts, take the lines you know and
flip them in reverse, night swimming's fun
in a crowded pool when everyone is drunk
jump off the rope with me, into the water
down at garbage beach, lay in the sand
with the broken bottles and the soda cans
I want you to know, and i hope you understand
the train's passing through, but he'll be back again
when the winter wind's like a biting mouth
a breeze is blowing beautifully down south
I want you to know and understand
the coffee's cold in the coffee can
and the place where I was born and raised
calls to me lately
through the summer haze
