Amy Martin - Antebellum Town

The sun don't rise here anymore
So it's quittin' time and I'm out the door
What's lost can't always be found
There ain't nothing left
In this racist town
So I'll take my money and I'll take my skills
I'll hit the road, I'll hit the hills
Smoke some dope and pay my bills
Where the beauty with give ya chills
Are you holding up or breaking down?
Are you building up or tearing down?
Go ahead and keep your fools gold crown
Cause I'm leavin' this antebellum town
I'll play the streets and I'll start again
I'll make a bunch of progressive friends
Where "amen" and "the south will rise again"
Aren't a champagne coup de main
When my momma cries and my daddy groans
Of how we only ever talk on the phone
I'll remind them of our coast overthrown
Where were you?
Blood, sweat, and broken bones
Are you holding up or breaking down?
Are you building up or tearing down?
Go ahead and keep your fools gold crown
Cause I'm leavin' this antebellum town
Are you holding up or breaking down?
Are you building up or tearing down?
Go ahead and keep your fools gold crown
Cause I'm leavin' this antebellum town
