Common Courtesy’s opening track talks about ADTR’s hometown in Florida and remembering where they came from. They never mention Ocala in the lyrics however, which makes this song special to anyone reminiscing about their hometown and their own past. The song also leads into the next song on the albu...
[Intro]
Fuck yeah!
[Verse 1]
Remember way back when? They said this life was a dream
Well it still is, I never wanna wake
Standing in my backyard at our old practice space
Hard to hold back the tears from streaming down my face
[Pre-Chorus]
That was then, this is now
You can't run before you go learn how, and you won't
[Chorus]
This is our corner of the world
Where we can come to be ignored
This is our point where we return
This is where I came from
This is where I came from
[Verse 2]
Remember way back when? This place seemed bigger to me
Learned how to play guitar, and made my mom watch me
We always knew back then, just where I'd be right now
We never questioned it, was more like when and how
[Pre-Chorus]
That was then, this is now
You can't run before you go learn how, and you won't
[Chorus 2]
This is our corner of the world
Where we can come to be ignored
This is our point where we return
This is where I came from
This is what made us who we became
Where they know me, not just my name
There's not another place the same
This is where I came from
This is where I came from
Yeah!
[Bridge]
You had another thing coming if you were sleeping on us
Same old voices in my ear saying enough is enough
Well, I'm saying me and all my friends don't need you around
You had another thing coming if you were sleeping on us
Same old voices in my ear saying enough is enough
Well, I'm saying me and all my friends don't need you around
[Bridge 2]
Oh oh oh, this is where I came from, I'm right back at it again
Oh oh oh, this is where I came from
Oh oh oh, this is where I came from, I'm right back at it again
Oh oh oh, this is where I came from
[Chorus]
This is what made us who we became
Where they know me, not just my name
There's not another place the same
This is where I came from
This is where I came from
City of Ocala was written by Chad Gilbert & Tom Denney & Jeremy McKinnon.
City of Ocala was produced by Chad Gilbert & Andrew Wade & Jeremy McKinnon.
A Day To Remember released City of Ocala on Tue Oct 08 2013.
McKinnon stated in a Kerrang! interview that the song is,
about standing in the back garden of my parents' house and looking in the garage where we started, where we’d practice, and where we’d terrorize the neighborhood.
He also said
With “City of Ocala”, I really wanted to capture that fiery but...
