Heather Valley - Nightmericana Lyrics

He had a corner store he drove into the ground
He loved your momma once but he still ran around
So she went back to Palatka with the both of you
But you looked just like your daddy

So you grew up at Little Wings
A ranch in broad north Flor(ida)
You saw dishonest things, like dogs and birds and whores
When you took one just to do it
Legend got a hold of you
Taught you a lesson... learn it, did you?

You were bad when you got home
So they sent you away
Camden Military - had to find a way
Used your wit and your silver tongue to get through every day
And your summers home you were feared

You got out at 17, you were educate
Twenty before me for liquor, lies and libate
You told me so many stories, I don't know which are true
But I still - we still - loved you

You grew up at Little Wings, a ranch in broad north Flor(ida)
You saw dishonest things, like dogs and drinks and cards
When you took one just to do it, Legend got a hold of you
Taught you a lesson... learn it, did you?

Were you mine? Were you mine?

They got you up in north New York
Sent you East Parish way
Where you fought for your life... so you say
You got out, said you learned it now and Legend rolled in his grave

Champion
Oh, champion
Oh, champion
You are my champion

Sodus Bay and Ashley Place
Where your true heart shone
Two years displaced
Then honey you were gone

They got you down in West Palm again
You couldn't keep it straight
Or your promises....
Except never to change

Oh, champion (Were you mine)
You are my champion (Were you mine)
Oh, champion (Were you mine)
You are my champion
