Talk of The Town
Escaping Small Town Shadows: Born Reckless Unveils a Journey Beyond
Lyrics
Never wanna go never wanna stray to far away
Expressing reluctance to leave or deviate too far from a familiar place.
I don't want to be the talk of the town
Desire to avoid being a topic of gossip or discussion in the community.
Never wanna go never wanna stray to far away
Reiteration of the reluctance to go far away.
I don't want to be the talk of the town
Reiterating the desire not to be the subject of local talk.
Well i grew up in a fishing town of 300 strong where it was all hands on deck just making dimes
Describing a small fishing town and the hard work of its inhabitants for modest earnings.
Nobody ever dared to leave it was frowned upon and killing me
Highlighting the social pressure to stay in the town and the personal dissatisfaction with it.
I had a bigger sunset on my mind
Expressing a longing for a bigger and better life beyond the small town.
Well id trade all my rods and reels just to be like dorthy and click my heels and be the man out on the big stage
Desiring a life on the big stage, contrasting it with the current small-town reality.
But you know i don't want to be
Affirmation of the unwillingness to be a subject of local gossip.
I don't want to be the talk of the town
Reiterating the refusal to be the talk of the town.
Never wanna go never wanna stray to far away
Repetition of the desire not to go far away.
I don't want to be the talk of the town
Reiteration of the desire to avoid being the subject of gossip in the town.
Never wanna go never wanna stray to far away
Emphasizing the reluctance to stray too far from the familiar surroundings.
I don't want to be the talk of the town
Reiterating the rejection of being the talk of the town.
I don't want to be the talk of the town
Affirmation of the unwillingness to be a topic of local discussion.
I don't wanna be
Repeating the strong desire not to be the talk of the town.
Well i picked up my D10 after a long hard day of scraping barnacles of the bottom of a haul
Narrating a day's hard work and contemplation about the dissatisfaction with the current life.
Thinking that this ain't the life for me and nothing in this world comes for free everybody's got to take a risk once in a while
Recognizing the need to take risks for a better life and acknowledging the absence of free rewards.
So thats what i did had to get it done packed my shit took it on the run flying down the road till i hit the freeway
Describing the decision to leave, pack belongings, and hit the freeway for a new beginning.
Well the signs were steering me away
Encountering signs guiding away from the current path.
I was scared to leave but scared to stay cause you know that i don't want to be,
Feeling torn between the fear of leaving and the fear of staying in an unsatisfactory situation.
I don't want to be the talk of the town
Reaffirming the refusal to be the talk of the town.
Never wanna go never wanna stray to far away
Repeating the reluctance to go far away.
I don't want to be the talk of the town
Reiterating the desire to avoid being a topic of local gossip.
Never wanna go never wanna stray to far away
Repetition of the unwillingness to stray too far from the familiar environment.
I don't want to be the talk of the town
Reaffirming the rejection of being the talk of the town.
I don't wanna be
Emphasizing the strong unwillingness to be a topic of local discussion.
I don't want to be the top of the town
Declaring the refusal to be at the top of town gossip.
I don't wanna be no
Concluding the song with a firm declaration of not wanting to be a part of local rumors.
