Album: Sister Pride
Lyrics:
Verse 1
I was fifteen with a beat-up guitar
A couple of clothes and a dream too far
Gary was cold and Gary was mean
So I caught that train to chase my dream
Pre-Chorus
Didn’t have a plan
Didn’t need one
Just a ticket out
And a place to run
Chorus
I left Gary
I left it behind
Took my guitar and my bad attitude
And left that town behind
I left Gary
Didn’t say goodbye
If they wanted me to stay
They should’ve given me a reason why
Verse 2
Chicago taught me how to survive
Played my guitar, stayed alive
Found a bass by a dumpster one night
Beat-up and ugly, but it felt right
Pre-Chorus
Didn’t have much
But I had a sound
Sometimes you find
What you’re looking for on the ground
Chorus
I left Gary
I left it behind
Took my guitar and my bad attitude
And left that town behind
I left Gary
Didn’t say goodbye
If they wanted me to stay
They should’ve given me a reason why
Bridge
No money
No plan
Guitar in my hand
Bass by my side
And nowhere to hide
Then the Misfits came through
And they knew what to do
They bought me a Fender
And gave me something new
Verse 3
Then I found a Harley, beat-up and loud
Didn’t look like much, but I liked it proud
Chicago behind me, Miami ahead
With my bass on my back and the road in my head
Final Chorus
I left Gary
Yeah, I left that town
Took a train to Chicago
Then I rode southbound
I left Gary
And I’m still alive
Got a Harley, got a Fender
And one hell of a ride
Outro
I left Gary.
That’s all you need to know.
