Edge Of Town
I was always dreaming Id be leaving
And now that day has come
I love this little town Ill always wear it proud
Theyll know where I come from
No matter where I go my heart wont leave this home
My family or my friends
When this child of the wind sees where it has been
This is where Ill rest .. so
(Chorus)
Dont cry Mama let me see that smile
Theres no need to worry Ill always be your child
The same child you picked up and taught to stand its ground
So you know I cant fall when I reach the edge of town
I always had to know where the river flowed
What it saw along the way
What it looked like from the beach when it reached the sea
On a summer day
Everything you heard was some one elses words
How bad it is out there
But theyre the ones who stayed and always kept their place
Theyve never been nowhere
(Chorus)
Dont cry Mama let me see that smile
Theres no need to worry Ill always be your child
The same child you picked up and taught to stand its ground
So you know I cant fall when I reach the edge of town
(Tag)
So you know I cant fall when I reach the edge of town
The edge of town....The edge of town
