place called home

Everybody always says they hate it here
They only say that cause they're kids and they're young and sad
Young hearts falling hard
Sunsets on the boulevard
Drugs and music are the good times
Small town summer nights

We don't kiss and tell
Hope the neighbors can't see
When we're out past three
Shit, my Mom is gonna kill me if I don't come again
But I'd rather stay here with you

This is the place that I call home
No matter where I be and no matter where I go
People are people, and life can get hard
And I can always start over but I won't get far
I'll always come back to this sunset city
Where the times were good, and the people were witty

I hope that you'll remember me in a couple years
And we can sit and catch up with a cup of coffee
While our children play in the garden
Little do they know what's happening
And we'll say man, remember those days?

Sun tans and cigarettes
Music beating in my chest
Feeling loud and rebellious
Feeling euphoric when I'm kissing you, missing you
My feelings all mixed
Think I need a new fix

This is the place that I call home
No matter where I be and no matter where I go
People are people, and life can get hard
And I can always start over but I won't get far
I'll always come back to this sunset city
Where the times were good, and the people were witty

Everybody always says they hate it here
They only say that cause they're kids and they're young and scared
