Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Thinking back to that little town in the rust belt,
Holding so many memories of mine.
Never-ending wheatfields glowing in the sunset,
Sitting in my beat-up car I felt like everything was fine.
[Verse 2]
Walking down Western Drive, hands in my pockets,
In the balmy sun of a lazy windswept afternoon.
Thinkin' back now, I can barely recall it.
Felt like those days ended way too soon.
[Verse 3]
When the sun would finally set,
And the geese disappeared from the sky.
All the stars would shine their brightest,
A million glimmers of heavenly light.
[Pre-Chorus]
Now that town is done and gone,
Left behind on the dusty path.
Yet for it I can't help but feel so fond,
It feels like those days went by so fast.
[Chorus]
I never will ever forget my rust belt home,
Its beauty so simple and humble.
I carry it with me wherever I go,
In modern concrete jungles.
[Verse 4]
How those years passed me by,
A world I can't ever return to.
Dusty roads and endless skies,
When every pink cloud on the horizon was something new.
[Verse 5]
So I'll sing this little tune,
To relive and to remember.
For the sake of everyone I knew,
On balmy Junes and hazy Novembers.
[Verse 6]
When the moon would finally crest,
Shining so high up in the sky;
The world swathed in darkness,
Looking up at that heavenly light.
[Bridge]
Sitting in this mess of concrete,
Thinking back to when I was young.
When amongst the fields I ran free,
And the world seemed so fun.
[Pre-Chorus]
Now that town is done and gone,
Left behind on the dusty path.
Yet for it I can't help but feel so fond,
It feels like those days went by so fast.
[Chorus]
I never will ever forget my rust belt home,
Its beauty so simple and humble.
I carry it with me wherever I go,
In modern concrete jungles.
[Outro]
It's a world I miss so damn much,
Yet for all my words I can't return.
So I'll just content myself,
Sitting here and singing this little tune.
