Elias Sahlin
The Ballad Of Every Town I’ve Been
Hello, I am Elias and you’re going to remember this forever
I was born a drifter and my highway is the sky
Pittsburgh to Philly, Chicago to LA, Portland San Diego down to Santa Fe
Hartford to Albany couldn’t get much worse every time I come here it feels like I’ve been cursed
Minneapolis all the way to Omaha I can’t even describe the ignorance I saw
I’m waiting for a town that’s not such a disgrace but I see so many stupid people I wanna punch them in the face
Every city I go it all feels the same it’s got to be the people they’re the ones to blame
Detroit to Nashville it’s an American music scene
And when I look into their eyes it makes me wanna scream
I’m waiting for a town that’s not such a disgrace but I see so many lost people I wanna punch them in the face
New York it feels like hell and San Antonio as well
Phoenix to Seattle is where my darkest thoughts dwell
I’m waiting for a town that’s not such a disgrace grab your cross and walk with me or I’ll punch you in the face
I’m waiting for a town that’s not such a disgrace but I see so many stupid people I wanna punch them in the face
So I’ll keep searching until I find that town but until that day I’ll be around
