Asheville Lyrics
[Intro]
I left my home (I left my home)
To join the army (To join the army)
The day I left (The day I left)
My mama cried (My mama cried)
[Verse 1]
I left my home, everyone was weird, I went back
Partially 'cause of the love, partially 'cause of the tax
(Fuck, fuck, fuck-fuck) Don't ask me where I'm at
Accountant told me this is just life, everything returns into Ash
[Chorus]
They named the city after me, so every single time I'm home
I think about doing some things that I should not say in a song
I've done some things that I'm not proud of, not at all
I meant exactly what I said, but the way I said it's—
[Post-Chorus]
I said it, uh-uh, I said it, uh-uh
I said it, uh-uh, I meant it, uh-uh
I said it, uh-uh, I meant it, uh-uh
I said it, uh-uh, I meant it, uh-uh
[Verse 2]
There was a time some years ago where I would hate this shit, uh
'Cause I couldn't take this shit, uh
Said, "Fuck this town," it turned around, you couldn't make this shit up
I made my peace, I plant my feet too deep, not moving for nothin'
They'll build a statue of me, trust
[Chorus]
They named the city after me, so every single time I'm home
I think about doing some things that I should not say in a song
I've done some things that I'm not proud of, not at all
I meant exactly what I said, but the way I said it's—
[Post-Chorus]
Wrong, wrong
Wrong, wrong
[Bridge]
They named the city after me, so when I'm home, know it's up
They see the Benz, they see the rims, they already know that it's us
I find some comfort in the fact it's not the same as it was
All this silver in my cup, frankly, it moves slow as fuck
[Refrain]
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, I should've never left it
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, I should've never said it
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, take four away from seven
Only person on my street with zero college credits
[Verse 3]
For real (Are you for real?)
Every single time I'm home, think about doing— (Are you for real?)
I should not do that at all, shouldn't even be a thought
But somehow, it always is, guess that's just the way I live
Only person in my neighborhood whose nightstand got a grip
And I don't think that I'll use it, all my neighbors old as shit
[Refrain]
I should've never left it
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, I should've never said it
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, take four away from seven
Only person on my street with zero college credits (Are you for real?)

What else did glaive say about "Asheville"?
Upon returning to my hometown, I had this new found confidence mixed with a bit of shame for making ‘Fuck this town’ because in the end it actually is quite a nice place. I picked this song to be the first single because 1: it’s a crazy song and 2: I think it quite sums up a lot of the way I was fee...
