歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] The neon light flickers red Wishing I was home in bed Old Jimmy pulled up in a truck Told me about his sudden luck He didn't see my greasy hands Or all my failed and broken plans He’s heading out to Tennessee Far away from guys like me [Pre-Chorus] He bought a soda and a map Adjusted his designer cap The bell rings as he walks away Nothing left for me to say I’m just the guy behind the glass Watching all the seasons pass [Chorus] But I got a ticket in my vest Putting my future to the test Crumpled paper, silver dust In the numbers I will trust One day I’ll leave this town And never let the anchors down Yeah, I’m waiting on a win Let the better life begin [Post-Chorus] Yeah, I’m feeling fine Walking on a thin line Waiting for the sun to shine [Verse] The coffee machine starts to hiss Thinking of the things I miss High school halls and Friday nights Underneath the stadium lights Now I’m scrubbing down the floor Watching through the sliding door Sarah stopped to fill her tank Money in her father’s bank She looked right through my name tag Holding up a plastic bag [Chorus] But I got a ticket in my vest Putting my future to the test Crumpled paper, silver dust In the numbers I will trust One day I’ll leave this town And never let the anchors down Yeah, I’m waiting on a win Let the better life begin [Bridge] The organ plays a lonely tune Underneath a paper moon Is it envy or just pride? Everything I keep inside The engine roars, the tires scream Waking from a dusty dream I’m scratching off the gray To find a better way [Solo] [Verse] The clock is stuck at four-fifteen The world is grey and dull and mean But if the seven meets the three Maybe I can finally be Someone that they’d recognize Without the static in my eyes I’ll buy a car and drive it fast Leave the oil and grease in the past Just one more hour until the dawn Before the morning light is gone [Chorus] But I got a ticket in my vest Putting my future to the test Crumpled paper, silver dust In the numbers I will trust One day I’ll leave this town And never let the anchors down Yeah, I’m waiting on a win Let the better life begin [Outro]
