Lyrics:
my old highway exit looks so much different
but the water tower still looks the same
what if the town runs dry and no one else needs us
another power outage in the rain

I didn’t tell anyone I was coming home and I stayed for 3 months
spent the summer in South Carolina doing what I want
clouds as tall as mountains, it was humid as can be
Carolina sun was burning up everything
(everything)
