Sleepytown — Carry Me Home lyrics

Lyrics

It’s a summer song about some folks that did some wrong
About the crooks that I’ve known in this town I call my home
It’s a shitty place and when the sun is up to grace us
We’ve got to get shit face, we’ve got to drink our sins away
I need the booze to cool me off
I need you to warm my soul
And when this town has sucked me dry
I need you to carry my home
I need you to carry my home
When I ran away, some friends chose to stay
Nobody walked the line, we got just as torn by time
This town has left a scar, a splinter in my heart
We’re all looking at the stars, from the gutter or the bar
I need the booze to cool me off
I need you to warm my soul
And when this town has sucked me dry
I need you to carry my home
I need you to carry my home
Walking down the street I see the girls I fell in love with
when I was sixteen I was filled with childish dreams
Dreams of growing up, dreams of meeting lady luck,
Dreams of tender touch
I guess I haven’t changed that much
I need the booze to cool me off
I need you to warm my soul
And when this town has sucked me dry
I need you to carry my home
I need you to carry my home
You shine like a pearl among the white trash girls
One thing I overheard, «He's too dumb to be with her»
Still I wanna show you how it’s done
In this town I call my home we get drunk and we get stoned but at least we’re
not alone
I need the booze to cool me off
I need you to warm my soul
And when this town has sucked me dry
I need you to carry my home
I need you to carry my home
I need the booze to cool me off
I need you to warm my soul
And when this town has sucked me dry
I need you to carry my home
I need you to carry my home
