jaimee harris - boomerang town lyrics
[verse 1]
i was working at the supermart
when i fell for julie, knocked her up
like everybody said i would
the day i turned sixteen i got that job
i couldn’t wait to buy a car, save enough
leave this town for good
in august i asked julie if she’d run away
she said she wanted to wait ‘til may to graduate
she’d be the first in her family, so i stayed behind
thought she could get a scholarship to college
become a nurse, travel the world
but all that took a backseat when we saw those double lines
[chorus]
as for me, the only dream i’ve ever had
is gettin’ out of this boomerang town
you think you’re soarin’
you think you’re flyin’
too young to know there’s no use tryin’
you spin in circles, ’round and ’round
in this boomerang town
it’s a boomerang town
[verse 2]
julie got a ged and a job off 35
the only joint in town that’s open all night
the diner next to the seminary
she serves the truckers, the troubadours, the punks
the college kids who trash their booths all stoned and drunk
who always pay, but never tip with daddy’s money
julie and i come from similar kin
heavy drinkers, quick to angers, fists to skin
they all live and die here
“that won’t be us,” i swore to her
“i promise you we’ll see the world
i just don’t know when”
[chorus]
as for me, the only dream i’ve ever had
is gettin’ out of this boomerang town
you think you’re soarin’
you think you’re flyin’
too young to know there’s no use tryin’
you spin in circles, ’round and ’round
in this boomerang town
it’s a boomerang town
[verse 3]
after her shift she lights a smoke up on the bridge, under the billboard painted “jesus lives”
julie steps over the rail, thinks about salvation
the sun arrives and collides with the steeple, casts a shadow over god’s most desperate people
julie takes it as a sign, let’s go, and starts flyin’
[chorus]
as for me, the only dream i’ve ever had
is gettin’ out of this boomerang town
it feels like soarin’
it feels like flyin’
now i know it’s only dyin’
you spin in circles, ’round and ’round
in this boomerang town
