about

I was inspired to write this for Chad Freeman's Headphones and Microphones Grunge show. Sept 23, 2023. All vocals and instruments Chris Lane, Sr and featuring Hugh Caldwell on rhythm and lead guitars #songtober

lyrics

I left my dying town
bound for city lights
They said I’d die here,
but not without a fight

nothing in my pockets
and my guitar in the case
I long to be someone
and I think this is the place

Think that I’ll find happiness
Think I’ll feel the sun,
Think I’ll grab the fame I crave
when all was said and done
I was looking for redemption
as I pulled away

Gotta leave the grunge

Can’t say I’m proud
of things I had to do
but a bucks a buck,
gotta do what ya gotta do

I found the rainbow,
but someone stole the gold
slipped through my fingers
man its hard to hold

is fame an illusion
or something you can steal
this city’s full of devils
and they are offering a deal

Thought that I’d find happiness
Thought I feel the sun,
Thought I grab the fame I crave
when it's said and done
This city has a dark stain
the rain can’t wash away

and I feel the grunge yeah, I feel it.

I feel the drugs surge in my veins
feel them wash away the pain
trapped like a rat inside the cage
can I ever break away

Thought that I’d find happiness
Thought I feel the sun,
Thought I grab the fame I crave
when all was said and done
Thought I’d be the hero
when I left the stage

But all I feel is the grunge yeah, I feel the grunge.
