(Hogan)

I'm stuck in the city I was born
They've outlawed rock and roll and porn
and I know I don't belong here
everyone I know will stay
but god I really want to get away

I'm stuck with the crowd who hates a crowd
they don't know how to live out loud
the city sleeps at 10 o clock
the bars are closed , the doors are locked
no place that we can go, nowhere to rock

you built this city to make me feel shitty
you built this city get out while you can

I'm gonna move to Nashville
start a rock and roll band
and point two fingers up on each side of my hand
and I don't give a shit if anybody understands me now

I'm in the city of broken hearts and broken dreams
and my soul lies there somewhere in between
but I'm playing my heart out now
yeah, I'm playing my heart out now
I'm playing my heart out now, in a rock and roll band

I love the way you sit at home and talk about everyone
I love the way you think that shit's so much fun
I'm not knocking all that crap you do
Its fine with me, if it's ok with you
but some of us have better things to do

I wish I had a girl to share my dreams
but she's not where I'm at it seems
and the bus ride out of here's so long
this moment in time finds me alone
but that's the only way I've ever known
