[Intro] [Verse 1] Little church on William Street They head to tear it down My brother calls once in a while But he don’t come around I hear they changed my high school’s name Can’t remember what it’s called I guess I’m a stranger in this place It’s not my hometown anymore [Chorus] So I drink my whiskey straight And I take my coffee black When I ran away from home I never thought I’d make it back And my mother prayed for me Each night before she went to sleep I wish that she was here So she could comfort me [Verse 2] Things you wish would stay the same It seems like they’re the first to change Fields we used to run and laugh in Now they’re someone’s real estate And everyone I used to know Is like a ghost to me these days And I don’t think I have much else That they could take away [Chorus] So I drink my whiskey straight And I take my coffee black When I ran away from home I never thought I’d make it back And my mother prayed for me Each night before she went to sleep I wish that she was here So she could comfort me [Chorus] So I drink my whiskey straight And I take my coffee black When I ran away from home I never thought I’d make it back And my mother prayed for me Each night before she went to sleep I wish that she was here So she could comfort me [Outro] Ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh
