Mound City

Its Friday night And the home team lost To the Catholic boys From the holy cross Its true what they say They're recruiting from out of state But the fans all cheer Acting real proud The marching band plays As they thin out the crowd You catch my eye And there's no place that I'd rather be Our sunburns keep slowing us down But times passin quickly I'm thinking about leaving this town And taking you with me But the tanks almost empty So we're stuck in mound city We're stuck in mound city We hop in my car Like bonnie and Clyde You text your momma A little white lie "I'm staying at Jane's I'll be home tomorrow at noon" Its harmless you say As we hit the road With no destination Singing ghost of Tom Joad The highways alive But this town has been sleeping for year Our sunburns keep slowing us down But times passin quickly I'm thinking about leaving this town And taking you with me But the tanks almost empty So we're stuck in mound city We're stuck in mound city I think we both know in our hearts that we'd never leave But when I hold you in my arms I almost believe That if I had the gas we'd drive far away And never think what your mother would say But tonight it's just us with no one around Just hold me close and don't make a sound Our sunburns keep slowing us down But times passin quickly I'm thinking about leaving this town And taking you with me But the tanks almost empty So we're stuck in mound city We're stuck in mound city
