Echoes of a Small Town Heart

Lyrics

[INTRO] I miss us… There was a time we talked all the time. Now it’s grandkids all the time. The one thing I love most about you is that you don’t give up. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I know it is. And there’s a reason for all of it. What happened to Hawaii? Now it’s gone. Thought we were gonna go to Thailand… I’m Gommie, so burned out. And Joe so crooked. The kids make me sick… so sick. Now Dame, that’s my dog. Dame knows life behind the walls. [VERSE 1] Nigga Dame, now it’s me behind the walls. Yeah, welcome to Gommie's house behind the walls. Sierra just left the courthouse, amending the separation, Adding no visitation, drowning in the frustration. He’s on ship restriction, finding ways around the system, Drove her straight to the edge, nobody wanted to listen. People are fucked, man, someone is protecting his name, While she’s losing her patience, losing her mind in the game. Waking kids asking for milk and cookies, Damn Gommie, you must be a rookie. This ain’t… [CHORUS] We’re stuck in a loop, a broken script in the night, Grandkids ask for sugar, but the world’s cold as steel. I’m the stubborn flame that refuses to ignite, Burnt out, but still standing, I won’t let this feel. [VERSE 2] Joe’s crooked, he’s walking circles, Dreams of Hawaii turned to dust in a winter breeze. Grandkids laugh, but the pain is hidden, Behind every laugh, a story that’s unsaid. I’m the ghost of a promise, the echo in the hall, Trying to find a way out before the curtain falls. [CHORUS] We’re stuck in a loop, a broken script in the night, Grandkids ask for sugar, but the world’s cold as steel. I’m the stubborn flame that refuses to ignite, Burnt out, but still standing, I won’t let this feel.
