lyrics

Gibsonville

this town grows too quickly
while the others die slow
these strip malls are cancer
and she's just waiting to go

but when you drive out past the village line
out of the town and up in the pines you'll find
you're up near gibsonville

last night i was drinking
at kelly's saloon
and that glass of brown liquor
started shaking the room

so i went out back to get myself right
but caught the glare of the cop car lights
and i wished i was up in gibsonville
and i wish i was up in gibsonville

said a lot of things that i wish i could make clear
but did a lot of things that just won’t keep me here
i really wish i could but i know i don’t belong
i never know what’s right until i know it's gone

i flew out of boston
'cause i'm tired of that town
shot right to the hotel
but there was no one around

so i drove out past the village line
out of the town and up in the pines and now i'm fine
up in gibsonville
now i'm fine up in gibsonville
now i'm fine here up in gibsonville
