[Verse 1]
Headed to St. Mary's, I cross the avenue
The last time I came here, I'd just turned twenty-two
I should be a hero in this town
But that's alright, I'm keeping my head down
It all started here, walking on a road like this
Singing at The Joiners, bowing down to Matt Le Tiss
Move like a suburban hurricane
Red and white still running through my veins
[Chorus]
Tell the city that I love her, and I miss her ways
Only fools hold on to the glory days
When memories fade and friends move on
I'll never forget where I come from
[Verse 2]
All I've got are memories, that's good enough for me
Looking past The Old Dell, remember '93
Rewind on the radio again
T-shirts "6 - 3" all over them
Post relegation following the northern lights
Foreign destinations, California in my sights
A thousand airports and I feel the same
Red and white still running through my veins
[Chorus]
Tell the city that I love her, and I miss her ways
Only fools hold on to the glory days
When memories fade and friends move on
I'll never forget where I come from
[Verse 3]
Walking through the suburbs and the world I left behind
Looking for your headstone, '06 still on my mind
Don't think that I felt this way before
Decades passed still knocking at my door
It's way past the sunset, I'm feeling kinda strange
All kind of drinking, some things they never changed
9 p.m. and it's time to board my train
Another year 'til I'm out here again
[Chorus]
Tell the city that I love her, and I miss her ways
Only fools hold on to the glory days
When memories fade and friends move on
I'll never forget where I come from
