The wind is beating on my window I haven't slept all night That drum just keeps on banging They must be buzzing in the mind Like bees in the hive Tell me when the morning arrives This place is just not for me I say it all the time My friends they just ignore me Tell me never mind Waiting all your life on a Slumville sunrise Slumville Sunrise Nobody cares or looks twice Shout away in the morning Across this place where I was born in Every bruise, every flower Illuminated by the dawning My face upon the concrete The dirt is in my mouth I clench my fist and feet I try to cry out loud Make a sound, somethin' is keepin' me down This place is just not for me I'll say it a thousand times My friends they just ignore me Tell me never mind Waiting on your line for the Slumville Sunrise Slumville Sunrise Nobody cares or looks twice Shout away in the morning Across this place where I was born in Every bruise, every flower Illuminated by the dawning Slumville Sunrise Nobody cares or looks twice Shout away in the morning Across this place where I was born in Every bruise, every flower Illuminated by the dawning Every bruise, every flower Illuminated by the dawning You wanna hear a real country song Alright, we'll do another new one, it's called "You and Me"
