Fist Through This Town
Breaking Chains: Charlie Worsham's Anthem of Small-Town Rebellion
Lyrics
Living in an attic, working in a basement
Living in challenging conditions, working in a less-than-ideal job
Scraping it together, pray we'd make the pain mend
Struggling to make ends meet, hoping for healing from pain
Got my hero on the wall
Having a role model displayed on the wall
Whiskey I can drink
Having whiskey as a comfort
A place to sit and wonder
Contemplating life and its challenges
Why I don't get paid to think
Reflecting on the lack of financial compensation for thinking
I wanna put my fist through this town
Expressing frustration and a desire for change in the town
I ain't a fighter but I'd knock it to the ground
Not a physically aggressive person, but willing to confront the town
I ain't a killer but I'd let that bastard drown
Not inclined towards violence, but expressing a strong reaction
I wanna put my fist through this town
Reiterating the desire to make a forceful impact on the town
She undresses in the dark, a barely burning fire
Describing a scene of intimacy and vulnerability
After a long night of short tips from the drunks and the vampires
Referring to a challenging night with difficult interactions
Man, this ain't no fair fight at all
Characterizing life as an unfair struggle
It's a kick in the teeth
Describing a harsh setback or disappointment
She'd be the queen of these God-forsaken streets
Imagining someone deserving better in the town
If it was up to me
Expressing a desire for personal influence in the situation
I wanna put my fist through this town
Reiterating the wish to have a significant impact on the town
I ain't a fighter but I'd knock it to the ground, yeah
Not inclined towards physical confrontation, but willing to confront the town
I ain't a killer but I'd let that bastard drown, oh
Rejecting violent tendencies but expressing a strong reaction
I wanna put my fist through this town, yeah
Reiterating the desire to make a forceful impact on the town
For all the half-truth flat-out lies
Expressing frustration for dishonesty and deception
For every broken compromise
Reflecting on broken agreements and failed negotiations
For all the "give it one more try"
Expressing fatigue with attempts to salvage a situation
More than I can count, yeah
Feeling overwhelmed by repeated efforts
I wanna put my fist through this town
Reiterating the wish to have a significant impact on the town
I ain't a fighter but I'd knock it to the ground
Not inclined towards physical confrontation, but willing to confront the town
Yes, I would
Reiterating a non-violent approach but expressing a strong reaction
I ain't a killer but I'd let that bastard drown
Rejecting violent tendencies but expressing a strong reaction
I wanna put my fist through this town
Reiterating the desire to make a forceful impact on the town
I wanna put my fist through this town, mm
Repeating the strong desire to impact the town significantly
