Closed windows, the blinds come down

Sitting in the darkness of this small Virginia town

Lonely and board, with nothing but dreams

A dead end job in a world that aint what it seems

Litter and screaming, out in the streets

An occasional gonshot, makes the whole thing complete

Don’t know the people, they’re nothing but pests

Don’t know the reasons, I’m better off I guess

But when it all comes crashing down. When the end is nowhere to be found

Sometimes ya feel like ya just wanna disappear. You’ll find the road yer on when the dust is all clear……in this small Virginia town

Looking for shelter, in some other place

A bottle to soothe me, and a pipe in my face

A room behind this one’s black and cold

I tried to be a soldier once, and do what I was told

I could live with my emotions, I could deal with all the pain

I just can’t seem to find the sunlight, cuz all it ever does is rain

In this small Virginia town

Stranger in this town, alone and confused

Locked in my prison, battered and bruised

Close all the windows, shut the world away

Sit deep in side thoughts of brighter yesterdays

I can deal with all the anger. I can deal with southern stress

Bitterness and frustration, and my life is one big mess

In this small Virginia town
