Lyrics

There's a town
where I'm from
they say don't drink the water
and now the factory's gone

that's where I grew up
that's where I got down
and when I learned to much
i had to go alone

daddy, I'm gonna get you out
I'm gonna buy you a house on the bay
daddy, I'm not kidding around
I've already started to save

in the winter
when the lakes freeze over
the songbirds fly south
and the sun's fallen down

will you remember
what we talked about
just between us
I'm gonna make you proud

daddy, I'm gonna get you out
I'm gonna buy you a house on the bay
daddy, I'm not kidding around
I've already started to save

I'm telling you it's gonna be great
it may take a while
till will meet at the gate
for all you gave to me
I know that I don't have to
I know you'll love me anyway

daddy, I'm gonna get you out
I'm gonna buy you a house on the bay
daddy, I'm not kidding around
I've already started to save
