Uprooted

from Local Tourist by Alex Dominish

lyrics

Raised up in a little big town
With not a whole lot around
My days were spent wishing I could find a way out
My winter's spent praying that it'd be somewhere south

My cell phone wakes me for work
I'm running late but my boss is a jerk
My minimum wage can sustain me for now
Until I make my break and I abandon this town

Give me something more
Show me what's in store

It seems as if I'm never gonna be uprooted
I'll never ever understand what was alluded
To me of what I'd be
All the things the television told me'd happen
All the lies America had me believe in
A dream is just a dream

I'm stuck in this little big town
With not a whole lot around
My dead end job is barely even paying the rent
I can't afford to take a day to manage my head

Wake me from this state
Help alleviate

It seems as if I'm never gonna be uprooted
I'll never ever understand what was alluded
To me of what I'd be
All the things the television told me'd happen
All the lies America had me believe in
A dream is just a dream

I give up on this little big town
It won't miss me anyhow
I'm packing up and moving out to anywhere south
I'm finally gonna find out what my life's all about

It never seemed to me that I would be uprooted
I never ever understood what was alluded
To me of what I'd be
All the things the television told me'd happen
All the lies America had me believe in
My dreams seemed so naive

It never seemed to me that I would be uprooted
In the end I was the one who instituted
My own reality
The world will change and I'm not waiting for the outcome
I'm leading my own life and getting everything done
My dream is still my dream
