Lyrics
Brennon Town
by Steven James
Every day when I awake I see a sky so blue
Shining above this town just like I shine when I?m next to you
But by the afternoon the sky?s stained a dirty brown
Soiled by the good intentions of everyone in this town
So I?m going down to Brennon Town, I?ve got to get away
And while I?m there I just don?t care if it rains and rains all day
I?m going down to Brennonn Town, don?t know if I?ll return
And let?s just say I?ll be OK, and I?ve got time to burn, time to burn
I was born in a small town where the sky was perpetually blue
And every single day was perfect with not one single thing to do
So I packed it up and left and swore that I?d never go back
And now I?m sailing sideways contemplating my next tack
(Repeat Chorus)
?time to burn down in Brennon?s Town
I?ll learn just by running around
I?ll earn some extra money in town
And I?ll be OK
(Repeat Chorus)
