| [00:-4.00] | Mat Kearney - Rochester |
| [00:-2.00] | |
| [00:00.00] | |
| [00:24.88] | I was born in Rochester to a book-making man |
| [00:32.12] | Had a fake cigar shop with the games on in the back |
| [00:38.85] | See them coming and going letting it ride on thorough breads |
| [00:46.29] | The police chief and Tom Hall wondering what was the spread |
| [00:55.65] | I carried rich mans bags through brier trying to chase down a little white ball |
| [01:03.24] | Learned that any soft place wasn’t good for me at all |
| [01:10.38] | Daddy’d come home fired up looking for some sort of release |
| [01:17.25] | He’d beat the hell of Timmy and Timmy’d beat the hell out of me |
| [01:24.52] | I would hop the fence out to those government fields |
| [01:32.49] | Run till there was nothing left to feel |
| [01:39.93] | Lying there, watching, just disappear |
| [01:45.95] | Knowing one day I’m gonna fly on out of here |
| [01:54.40] | The same police chief came knocking my first freshman day |
| [02:02.40] | Put my daddy in handcuffs and his picture on the front page |
| [02:09.61] | Took every one of his suits and all my dignity |
| [02:17.17] | I’d walk the halls of Irondequoit looking for any punk to set me free |
| [02:25.20] | I would hop the fence out to those government fields |
| [02:33.26] | Run till there was nothing left to feel |
| [02:40.17] | Lying there, watching, just disappear |
| [02:46.94] | Knowing one day I’m gonna fly on out of here |
| [02:53.94] | Got that call to Vietnam, just like everyone else I knew |
| [03:02.60] | So scared of the hand grenades, threw them farther than any other troop |
| [03:09.88] | Came home like an iron fist, and Timmy tried to take my keys |
| [03:17.21] | Ripped open his from pocket, that was the last time he touched me |
| [03:24.67] | Moved to an island out west and up to Breckenridge |
| [03:33.35] | Met a mermaid on a glass boat, and she promised me some kids |
| [03:40.73] | Bought a house in Oregon where you could touch both of the walls |
| [03:47.77] | Had a son named Benjamin, and I was so scared of it all |
| [03:55.90] | |
| [04:25.43] | Well, Benjamin walked in the front room where I was cutting up my hash |
| [04:32.59] | Looked into his deep blue eyes wondering why I’d been so mad |
| [04:39.93] | Flushed a quarter pound down the drain, praying for the mercy to confess |
| [04:47.50] | Trying to rip the boy from Rochester right out of my chest |
| [04:56.34] | We’re gonna walk right out into those heavenly fields |
| [05:03.66] | Run like there was no more time to steal |
| [05:10.50] | My three boys and the grace of god revealed |
| [05:17.68] | Knowing one day you’re gonna take me out of here |
| [05:25.58] | Knowing one day you’re gonna take me out of here |
