Hometown Rebellion

​

I climb down from the mountain

I stumble down the hill

I crawled my way through that valley 

and that fire was burning still 

​

Now it's hot in here

My back's to the wall

and a ringing in my ear

​

This time of year my days are a blur 

and my night's are so unclear

​

I walked right through that doorway

I strolled on down the hall 

I made my entrance to the room

but the smoke had filled it all

​

And it's a hot in here

My back to the wall

and ringing in my ear

​

This time of year my days are a blur 

and my night's are not so clear

​

Everything's a little rough

​

As I wade at the mouth of the river

It drew me in from the lake

When I reached the mighty ocean now 

but that fire was in my wake

​

And now it's cool in here

My back's from the wall 

and there is singing in my ear

​

This time of year my days have been cured

and my night's are still unclear
