Lyrics

Payne's Bay

I can't belong to the dirt
I can't put on your fire
This town's alone and therefore
I see no end in sight

Oh, and hymns, child
Oh, and words you'll know

Headstrong today, I've been headstrong
Headstrong today, I've been headstrong
Headstrong today, I've been headstrong
Headstrong today, I've been headstrong
Headstrong today, I've been headstrong
Headstrong today, I've been headstrong
Headstrong today, I've been headstrong
Headstrong today, I've been headstrong
Headstrong today, I've been headstrong
Headstrong today, I've been headstrong
