Lyrics

Townies

Catchin' up with the townies Some have gone, but most are still around The ghosts of them surround me They hang on tight until they drown Met you in the neighborhood you had Connects to get us high and then You sent my nudes around I never yelled at you about it 'Cause you Died Died Went to a party in the county Stokin' bonfires with leaf blowers He got you in the back of his car Just your sneakers and your drawers Group of girls went around tellin' Everywhere you fooled around And gave you a strong Reputation for being someone always Someone always Down Down Off I-40 Crawled into your life, begging on my knees And I get it now You were 16 and bored and drunk And they're just townies I catch up when I'm in Up when I'm Around Around Around
