Rust Belt Town

[Verse 1] Thinking back to that little town in the rust belt, Holding so many memories of mine. Never-ending wheatfields glowing in the sunset, Sitting in my beat-up car I felt like everything was fine. [Verse 2] Walking down Western Drive, hands in my pockets, In the balmy sun of a lazy windswept afternoon. Thinkin' back now, I can barely recall it. Felt like those days ended way too soon. [Verse 3] When the sun would finally set, And the geese disappeared from the sky. All the stars would shine their brightest, A million glimmers of heavenly light. [Pre-Chorus] Now that town is done and gone, Left behind on the dusty path. Yet for it I can't help but feel so fond, It feels like those days went by so fast. [Chorus] I never will ever forget my rust belt home, Its beauty so simple and humble. I carry it with me wherever I go, In modern concrete jungles. [Verse 4] How those years passed me by, A world I can't ever return to. Dusty roads and endless skies, When every pink cloud on the horizon was something new. [Verse 5] So I'll sing this little tune, To relive and to remember. For the sake of everyone I knew, On balmy Junes and hazy Novembers. [Verse 6] When the moon would finally crest, Shining so high up in the sky; The world swathed in darkness, Looking up at that heavenly light. [Bridge] Sitting in this mess of concrete, Thinking back to when I was young. When amongst the fields I ran free, And the world seemed so fun. [Pre-Chorus] Now that town is done and gone, Left behind on the dusty path. Yet for it I can't help but feel so fond, It feels like those days went by so fast. [Chorus] I never will ever forget my rust belt home, Its beauty so simple and humble. I carry it with me wherever I go, In modern concrete jungles. [Outro] It's a world I miss so damn much, Yet for all my words I can't return. So I'll just content myself, Sitting here and singing this little tune.
