Sam's Town

Nobody ever had a dream 'round here

But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me

Nobody ever pulls the seams 'round here

But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me

I've got this energy beneath my feet

Like something underground's gonna come up and carry me

I've got this sentimental heart that beats

But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me

Now, why do you waste my time?

Is the answer to the question on your mind

And I'm sick of all my judges

So scared of what they'll find

But I know that I can make it

As long as somebody takes me home

Every now and then

Oh, have you ever seen the lights?

Have you ever seen the lights?

I took the shuttle on a shock wave ride

Where people on the pen pulled a trigger for accolades

I took a bullet, and I looked inside

And it's running through my veins

An American masquerade

I still remember grandma Ditzy's wake

I've never really known anybody to die before

Red, white and blue upon a birthday cake

And my brother - he was born on the fourth of the July, and that's all

So why do you waste my time?

Is the answer to the question on your mind

And I'm sick of all my judges

So scared of letting me shine

But I know that I can make it

As long as somebody takes me home

Woo!

(Every now and then)

(Every now and then)

You know I see London; I see Sam's Town

Pulls my hand, and let's my hair down

Rolls that world right off my shoulder

I see London; I see Sam's Town now
