Student Sample
Oh, I've walked from this town so long.
I know I can't get away, so I might as well
Go back home.I know these old backroads so well.
Yeah, I know them ol' backroads so well.
I could walk them blind and drunk
Using my sense of smell.If you come to this town,
I said if you come to this town.
Just call for old Blazing Lungs,
And he'll tell you what's going down.You could learn a lot from me son.
Oh, you could learn a lot from me son.
Like when it's time to stand and fight,
Or when it's time to run.~Colin Kelley
