Johnny Viti - Mt. Greenwood [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Don't limit yourself, end quote, the words stuck/
Branch out and leave with a little bit of luck/
Follow your heart, be young and ambitious/
Burn a couple bridges if they're blocking your vision/
High school days just kickin in the basement/
Now my friends are all grown and famous/
Just a couple of kids, southside of Chicago/
Found a way out, that soon i'm gonna follow/
Nothing here grows, no, it withers and dies/
It doesn't take a brain, just a couple of eyes/
And a couple of lies to get through the day/
Will shit get better man? it's hard to say/
The age goes up as the drinks go down/
You hit the ground, a familiar sound/
You laugh it off with your drunken friends/
Then wait til tomorrow, and do it all again/


A tradesman town where I don't belong/
Where black and white don't get along/
And they think they're right but they're oh so wrong/
I never even liked it here, I'm gone/
But when the sun comes up, I'll be right here/
My emotions stuck, so cavalier/
This place is fused in my bones and skin/
I wanna get out, but it's pulling me in/


A window pane, with every house the same/
With an Irish name behind every shade/
With a busch light can in every alley way/
And a goddamn slut with a fake tan spray/
It was fun as a kid man, a helluva blast/
But once we got older, it died real fast/
The first to grow up, but I'm probably the last/
I wanna get out but I'm attached to the past/
It's fucking dumb though, this place is done yo/
I can't believe that I love it so so/
Go to work, get home, grab a beer, get drunk/
Every day got me saying what the fuck/
But that ain't me, no, it's everyone else/
And I'm not gonna fold with the cards I'm dealt/
I gotta get out, but I don't know how/
It's draggin me down 6 feet in the ground/


A tradesman town where I don't belong/
Where black and white don't get along/
And they think they're right but they're oh so wrong/
I never even liked it here, I'm gone/
But when the sun comes up, I'll be right here/
My emotions stuck, so cavalier/
This place is fused in my bones and skin/
I wanna get out, but it's pulling me in/


I love it and hate it but the love is getting faded/
The past is dead and my emotions jaded/
An ambitious kid now turned to dust/
His dreams were gone when reality struck/
And he had a chance, yeah, to get it all back/
But he was too far gone, never swung the bat/
And he lost a friend who was beaming bright/
As he pulled away when he was shown the light/
It breaks my heart just to watch it happen/
I remember that kid when he was full of passion/
He spread it around like a fuckin disease/
He always upbeat and he made me believe/
But now that's gone I can see it in his eyes/
I wanna know the time that his mind fully died/
And I wish he knew the impact that he had/
It's too late now man and that's too bad/

A tradesman town where I don't belong/
Where black and white don't get along/
And they think they're right but they're oh so wrong/
I never even liked it here, I'm gone/
But when the sun comes up, I'll be right here/
My emotions stuck, so cavalier/
This place is fused in my bones and skin/
I wanna get out, but it's pulling me in/
