Sam's Town lyrics

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

Well have you ever seen the lights?

Have you ever seen the lights?

I took a shuttle on a shockwave ride

Where people on the pen pull the trigger for accolades

I took a bullet and I looked inside it

Running through my veins an American masquerade

I still remember grandma Dixie's wake

I've never really known anybody to die before

Red, white and blue upon a birthday cake

My brother, he was born on the fourth of the July and that's all

Why do you waste my time?

Is the answer to the question on your mind

And I'm sick of all my judges

They're 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

Holds my hand and lets my hair down

Rolls that world right off my shoulder

I see London, I see Sam's Town now
