[Verse 1: David Gunn]
I hail from a place where nobody wants to come
Because you better bring a gun and you better not run
And I grew up with the pushers and the killers and the thieves
But some students and some artists and some workers knew me
And we all had that in common and we had this place
And we’d grow up to be dead because our city breeds hate
And the only way to beat it is to run I mean
Because the shots keep us awake so we never can dream
(pre chorus)
And they whispered unto me write down what you've seen
So the world knows our story and were finally free
[Chorus]
They said we need it right and you’re the only one we trust
So promise that you’ll write about us
[Verse 2: David Gunn]
Girls want me to write about sneaking through their windows
And the drive ins and the parks and the nights by the lake
And the boys want me to write about sneaking through windows
And the fights and the shootouts
When we caught that case
And we were on our own and we never came home
And it was us and the night and we made the most
