No Roots

(Verse 1) Train tracks hummin' a lonesome tune Wind whispers secrets 'bout a bygone June Storefront windows, faded and cracked Memories echo, ghosts of the past (Chorus) This town, it used to hold my heart so tight Every corner held a childhood fight But time's a river, carves a changin' course Now the streets all lead to an empty source (Verse 2) Park swing creaks, a rusty refrain Walk down Maple Street, feelin' the rain Searchin' for solace, a familiar friend But the oak tree's gone, just a broken end (Chorus) This town, it used to hold my heart so tight Every corner held a childhood fight But time's a river, carves a changin' course Now the streets all lead to an empty source (Bridge) The giant oak, where stories were told Now just a stump, weathered and cold Is this a lesson, writ on the breeze? That even the strongest can fall to their knees (Chorus) This town, it used to hold my heart so tight Every corner held a childhood fight But time's a river, carves a changin' course Now the streets all lead to an empty source (Outro) But maybe the emptiness ain't all bad Maybe it's space to plant somethin' new, not sad The oak may be gone, but its roots run deep And new life might sprout, while memories sleep (Verse 1) Train tracks hummin' a lonesome tune Wind whispers secrets 'bout a bygone June Storefront windows, faded and cracked Memories echo, ghosts of the past (Chorus) This town, it used to hold my heart so tight Every corner held a childhood fight But time's a river, carves a changin' course Now the streets all lead to an empty source (Verse 2) Park swing creaks, a rusty refrain Walk down Maple Street, feelin' the rain Searchin' for solace, a familiar friend But the oak tree's gone, just a broken end (Chorus) This town, it used to hold my heart so tight Every corner held a childhood fight But time's a river, carves a changin' course Now the streets all lead to an empty source (Bridge) The giant oak, where stories were told Now just a stump, weathered and cold Is this a lesson, writ on the breeze?
