Lyrics

In a town where what you know don’t make you who you are
It all comes down to the car you drive
Whether you’re a Mustang or a Chevrolet man
If you don’t know now, you better start choosing your side
Cause every Friday night, you’ll take her uptown and line her you on South
Scales street
It looks like a parade on Independence Day
With your homecoming bride in the passenger seat
We were too young to know, what this town had in store
We were too much in love to give a goddamn
With expectations high it’s always do or die
It seems like our fate’s already been sealed in… Reidsville
When I turned eighteen, I sold that car… traded wheels for a wedding band
A Plymouth hunter green, big block with three on the tree
With every nut and bolt turned by these two hands
It was a good start, then things just got so hard
Where the hell did we fall off track
Now I work for her dad, and the pay it ain’t half bad
Keeps a roof on her head and the bank off my back
Cause we were too young to know, what this town had in store
We were too much in love to give a goddamn
With expectations high it’s always do or die
It seems like our fate’s already been sealed in… Reidsville
That girl of mine, how her eyes they used to shine, like two rare stones set
out on display
We were wild and we were young and we could take on anyone
Now her eyes are darker than a funeral serenade
And I’d burn it down, every square inch of this town just to see one more smile
on her face
When it comes my day to die, I wanna look God in the eyes and ask Him why He
gave up on this place
Cause we were too young to know, what this town had in store
And we were too much in love to give a goddamn
With expectations high it’s always do or die
It seems like our fate’s already been sealed in… Reidsville
