god, in this town a man ain't worth nothing
if he don't talk to you
i hope it ain't too late to start now
cause i don't know who else to turn to
god, i don't know where i'm going
i ain't too proud of where i've been
and i just can't help feeling like
i'm alone every now and again
i was somebody in high school
and i guess that's why i stayed
here in this nobody town
where i thought i'd have it made
but i work at the corner store
and i don't know what life is for
and i ain't never prayed before
so i hope i'm doing this right
i try my best to be a good man
but it feels so out of touch
i just wanna know why everyone hurts
if you love everyone so much
god, this town is full of secrets
that nobody wants to tell
and if what the bible says is true
we're all going to hell
and i work at the corner store
and i don't know what life is for
and i ain't never prayed before
so i hope i'm doing this right
it's come down and it's spit me out
and i don't know what life's about
oh god, could you help me out
if you're even there at all
