Jimmy The Dog - Sunrise Lyrics

This stain on the map ain't got much work
No stars but bars and redneck girls
The suits came did the talkin'
Closed the factories and kept on walkin'
Sunrise feels good 'til it burns
Relentless 'till the darkness comes
Those few with jobs go hit the bars
While those without hang out in cars

Maybe smoke a little
There's those who preach hope springs eternal
They never find the water
They hang their heads avoid the shit and
Don't do what they ought'a
There's some lie down among the ruins
While others keep on buildin'
The smart ones move to build elsewhere
The cycle's never endin'

My feet's been a-itchin' for a long time now
I guess I'll go where they're gonna take me

Sunrise, a new dawn all to change
Something better nothing venture nothing gained
To the sunrise

I had a girl she told me once
Ain't no one gonna help ya
She up and left when I lost my job
Hitched out east to'rd the city
She done okay that gives me hope
It ain't no good pretendin'
Sittin' 'round here all day long
Provides a happy endin'

So I guess I'll put my old boots on
Head east and do the same
There'll be days I'll walk in sunshine
And there'll be some I'll crawl in rain
Some folks'll find it hard to change
Some don't know how to choose
I guess it's easier to welcome change
When you got nothin' to lose

My feet's been a-itchin' for a long time now
I guess I'll go where they're gonna take me
So long farewell yeah I've had enough good luck y'all
I'm goin' to remake me

Sunrise, a new dawn all to change
Something better nothing venture nothing gained
A new life to build be proud
To the dawn of another chance allowed
Sunrise, a new dawn all to change
Something better nothing venture nothing gained
A new life to build be proud
To the dawn of another chance allowed
