Residential Boy Lyrics

We weren?t ready for the country me and you Just a couple of city boys We couldn?t even sing the blues We couldn?t even light a fire or find The polestar Give me suburban moonshine You know I was raised on dogfights Weaned on the streetlights I?m a residential boy Didn?t ask to get born here In the city I just got dumped And I just got thumped When I tried to run away You didn?t ask to get born here neither But now?s the time we can spread our wings Make it out where the clear brook sings And time can slip away, slip away Without Love See him out through the window In the streets below us Keepin? his sadness out of view He?s so lonely, he?s so low He?s like I was before you Without love, oh how low I was And I only know now how low I was without love Pull down the shade You know that I was made to love you And only now I know how bad it was Without you in my arms Without you in my heart I was only playing a part I was hardly living at all Without love, oh how low I was And I only know now how low I was without love
