Toffee Town

they build their home in Toffee Town
cause they kinda liked the place
used to meet her when my work was done
cause i kinda liked her face
she never felt like moving onward
seemed her rainbow ended here
in his strange and cold foreboding
filled with faith, hope and fear

her feet got stuck in Toffee Town
her boots refused to move
sinking slowly on the higher ground
now there's nothing left to lose
in Toffee Town

there's a road that leads to nowhere
from the gospel hall and bars
past the crosses in the graveyards
lit by satellite and stars
breaking out of Toffe Town
proved way too hard to do
rolled the wagons in a circle
bit off more than she could chew

her feet got stuck in Toffee Town
her boots refused to move
sinking slowly on the higher ground
now there's nothing left to lose
in Toffee Town

sometimes falling out of love
is like falling out of bed
so i turned my back in Toffee Town
and all the things she said
turned my back on all the promises
that never came to pass
turned my back on being no one
turned my back on broken glass

her feet got stuck in Toffee Town
her boots refused to move
sinking slowly on the higher ground
now there's nothing left to lose
in Toffee Town
