[00:00.00]mat kearney - rochester
[05:33.07][03:55.90][00:04.00]
[00:24.88]i was born in rochester to a book-making man
[00:32.12]had a fake cigar shop with the games on in the back
[00:38.85]see them coming and going letting it ride on thorough breads
[00:46.29]the police chief and tom hall wondering what was the spread
[00:55.65]i carried rich mans bags through brier trying to chase down a little white ball
[01:03.24]learned that any soft place wasn’t good for me at all
[01:10.38]daddy’d come home fired up looking for some sort of release
[01:17.25]he’d beat the hell of timmy and timmy’d beat the hell out of me
[02:25.20][01:24.52]i would hop the fence out to those government fields
[02:33.26][01:32.49]run till there was nothing left to feel
[02:40.17][01:39.93]lying there, watching, just disappear
[02:46.94][01:45.95]knowing one day i’m gonna fly on out of here
[01:54.40]the same police chief came knocking my first freshman day
[02:02.40]put my daddy in handcuffs and his picture on the front page
[02:09.61]took every one of his suits and all my dignity
[02:17.17]i’d walk the halls of irondequoit looking for any punk to set me free
[02:53.94]got that call to vietnam, just like everyone else i knew
[03:02.60]so scared of the hand grenades, threw them farther than any other troop
[03:09.88]came home like an iron fist, and timmy tried to take my keys
[03:17.21]ripped open his from pocket, that was the last time he touched me
[03:24.67]moved to an island out west and up to breckenridge
[03:33.35]met a mermaid on a glass boat, and she promised me some kids
[03:40.73]bought a house in oregon where you could touch both of the walls
[03:47.77]had a son named benjamin, and i was so scared of it all
[04:25.43]well, benjamin walked in the front room where i was cutting up my hash
[04:32.59]looked into his deep blue eyes wondering why i’d been so mad
[04:39.93]flushed a quarter pound down the drain, praying for the mercy to confess
[04:47.50]trying to rip the boy from rochester right out of my chest
[04:56.34]we’re gonna walk right out into those heavenly fields
[05:03.66]run like there was no more time to steal
[05:10.50]my three boys and the grace of god revealed
[05:25.58][05:17.68]knowing one day you’re gonna take me out of here
