Colin Aerts - Welcome To Nowhere

Welcome to nowhere, population one more
We figured that you'd stay since the day that you were born
I'm sure you know your way around here by now
But I'll give you the grand tour anyhow

Here's the arena where hometown teams
Of high school heroes give up on their dreams
Below crowd of parents that scream and shout
Hoping their kid's good enough to get out

Welcome to nowhere, population one more
We figured that you'd stay since the day that you were born
Get used to the view, its the only thing you'll see
Welcome to the place you'll never leave

There's the plant or the shop or the mill
Where your daddy signed on to pay the family bill
You know he used to look like you back twenty-some years
Before his body quit trying to burn off all the beers

If you happen to notice them lifted pickup trucks
With their straight-piped exhausts, and mechanical nuts
Don't pay em no mind, that truck'll be gone
When the child support means they can't pay off the loan

Welcome to nowhere, population one more
We figured that you'd stay since the day that you were born
Get used to the view, its all you'll ever see
Welcome to the place you'll never leave

Best pick a house and settle on in
Before that price tag rises again
Settle down in that front porch rocking chair
I'll see you around, welcome to nowhere

Welcome to nowhere, population one more
We figured that you'd stay since the day that you were born
Get used to the view, its the only thing you'll see
Welcome to the place you'll never leave

Settle on in...
You're gonna be here for a while
