thinkin' a little more clearly
i've been sittin here thinkin' and with graduation coming up and everyone movin to different places, i've been thinking about the good times we've had here in good old bradenton. everyone lately ( including myself ) has been saying that they'd do pretty much anything to get the hell out of this town. i think its got a lot to do with just getting out on our own and finding ourself, and i guess it seems we can't do that in bradenton because of our roots. but i've lived in bradenton since 6th grade and even though its stupid and boring now, i could honestly see myself raising a family here and staying for good. but that is a long time away and i think everyone needs to get out sometime and explore. i mean, thinking about tallahassee and how exciting its gonna be there, im still gonna miss a lot about this town. and after the newness of living away sinks in and things are normal there, we'll all look back on bradenton and smile.... and u kno you will! i mean half the fun of this stupid town is bitching about how boring it is, even though we always seem to entertain ourselves......... so this one goes out to our old friend BRADENTON!....
"In the town where i was raised, the clock ticks and the cattle graze. The time passed with amazing grace, back where i come from. you could lie on a river bank, or paint your name on a water tank. OR MISCOUNT ALL THE BEERS YOU DRANK, back where i come from.
back where i come from, where i'll be when its said and done. well i'm proud as anyone, thats where i come from.
some say its a backward place. narrow minds on a narrow way. but i make it a point to say, thats where i come from.
back where i come from, im an old bradentonian!" -- kenny chesney " back where i come from"
