[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
