I'm nearly ready to give up this
As surely as I shoot, I miss
A symphony of a shattered, broke down town
The silence rings so loud you could feel the sound
Haven't I payed my dues
I dare you to walk a block in my shoes
Haven't I payed my dues
Got nothing left so i know I can't lose
Don't ask me why I have to go
But these small town dreams are not for us
Yeah we'll have to mend this heart
But it seems like we have nothing left
And we'll have to run away
Cause we're built for so much more
We're nearly ready to look in the rearview
And never turn around cause we won't see you
We've gotta leave this shattered, broke down town
Our souls so light that our feet won't touch the ground
Haven't we paid our dues
Our voices so loud
Haven't we paid our dues
Our hands are so high
This is ours for the taking
This is ours
