Shasta
by Mat Kearney

Album: Just Kids

Hometown remind me
Where I come from
Before the days of the hit and run
Running from the blue lights
Jumping trains at midnight
Never more alone or more alive
Hat tricks in the stadium
Baby look how far we've come
Casualties are littered all the way

Cause we've got miles left to go
To the place that I don't know
You told me the ground was gold
But I can't see it
One last time through the woods
In my old neighborhood
It tastes so bittersweet
I can't believe it

Hands in the cement
Stickers on the ceiling
Falling asleep to the werewolves
Pocket clutch on the VW
Throwing pebbles at your window
As we roll away in the pouring rain
College Hill water tower lights
Singing out in the holy night
Lord tell me you're not done with me yet

We've got miles left to go
To the place that I don't know
You told me the ground was gold
But I can't see it
One last time through the woods
In my old neighborhood
It tastes so bittersweet
I can't believe it

Innocence yeah it dies slowly
We're all falling in the Glory
Innocence yeah it dies slowly
We're all falling down
Hometown remind me
where i come from
before the days of hit and run
The moss and the pine trees
I can taste the caffeine
How the fire replays when you look at me
