Keaton James Fout - Ridgemont (Acoustic) Lyrics

We had fast times back in 2018
I never thought those things would change
Thought I was ready for the things to be
And that my head and my heart were on the same page
Me and you, we were living large
Now I'm throwing beer cans in your yard
And since that rainy day in May
Things haven't been the same
Two weeks til graduation
I was scared to show my face
Scared to see you look back at me
So I disappeared without a trace
Although I couldn't have picked a better time
To ruin the two years that you were mine
But I guess that's because we were getting ready to get on with our lives
Then you went north, and I went east
You found another I tried to make peace
Things got better over time
But I got f*cked up and out of line
So I guess this means goodbye

This small town brought us all together
And now it's tearing us apart
Even though we'll probably all live and die here
We all gotta follow our hearts
And girl I know you never think about me
Occasionally I think of you
I only I think of all the good times we had
That's all a broken man can do

I was best friends with your cousin
He stopped talking to me when we split
I guess I don't blame him
Because I did some messed up shit
But it's bad that things gotta be that way
But then again that's how life's been
I wish I could go see him today
But I guess I'll live and let live
And all them fake ass teachers
And the big names in this town
Used to lie and say they'd be there for us
But now I know how they feel now
And that's the way this place is
You mess up a couple times
Then they tear you all to pieces
Once you pass that city limit sign
So I guess I'll finally say good bye

It's funny how everything around here changes
Once you've been away for a while
But deep down inside I'm the one that's really changed
I'll have to kill them with my smile
And to all my good friends in this deadend town
Who are few and far between
We might not hang out much but i love it when you're around
Thanks for being there for me

And I wish I could relive those times back in the day
And for the ones I don't remember I miss them the same
And I know that I'm an asshole
And I probably peaked in high school
But darling you gotta forgive me for my mistakes
Forgive me for my mistakes

Maybe someday I'll hit it big
And I'll tell you like it is
Maybe you'll see me on the big stage someday
Maybe someday I'll see you around
Maybe in another shit hole town
Or Maybe Kenton someday
Maybe I'll see you back in Ridgeway someday
Maybe I'll see you in Mount Victory Someday
