larsonville (1997)  i recorded this in 2003 on my first version of garage band when i realized that i lost the original porta-studio cassette version

larsonville    (lyrics by kevin lay)


i walked away from that sinking ship of a town

i had everything i needed

i’d kept my pants on

i had a shirt

sneaking out of whateverville

i’m always leaving

i always will

follow the track ties

smell the dirt

i don’t get hurt


moving on

i don’t want to come from there

larsonville, i  know there’s a way out

it’s this way


swimming into that fire of a city light

i’m going to get everything i want

i’m keeping the baby that gets his way

rolling in paradise like this

i could slip away and not be missed

swallow your homecoming

keep the parade

i don’t get saved

what if i don’t get saved


moving on

i don’t want to come from there

larsonville, i  know there’s a way out

it’s this way
