Sam's Town

Nobody ever had a dream 'round here

But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me

Nobody ever pulls the seams 'round here

But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me

I've got this energy beneath my feet

Like something underground's gonna come up and carry me

I've got this sentimental heart that beats

But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me now



Why do you waste my time

Is the answer

To the question on your mind

And I'm sick of all my judges

So scared of what they'll find

But I know that I can make it

As long as somebody takes me home

Every now and then



Well, have you ever seen the light?

Have you ever seen the light?



I took a shuttle on a shockwave ride

When people on the pan

Pull a trigger for accolades

I took a bullet and I looked inside

And running through my veins

An American masquerade

I still remember Grandma Dixie's wake

I've never really known anybody that died before

Red, white, and blue upon a birthday cake

My brother he was born on the Fourth of July and that's all



So why do you waste my time

Is the answer

To the question on your mind

And I'm sick of all my judges

They're so scared of lettin' me shine

But I know that I can make it

As long as somebody takes me home



Every now and then

Every now and then



You know, I see London

I see Sam's Town

Holds my hand out

Lets my hair down

Rolls that world right

Off my shoulder

I see London

I see Sam's Town

Now
