about

A song for my hometown of Toledo, OR. Not every hometown gets a song but this one is mine. My love to everybody still living their life there.

This song is dedicated to Bobby and June. <3 Some folks from Toledo miss both of you quite a bit.

lyrics

Oh, I try not to worry all the time..
But it feels like I am worried every night.
Yeah, life is always changin’ like the sky,
I broke away from many ways of life.
Got pain for all the things that I once loved..
I wish my heart was somethin’ I could trust.
Tell me 'bout your sky and how it’s blue?
but look me in my eyes to see the truth..
whippin’ in a civic up a gravel road..
drinkin’ by a fire like it’s all I know.
Holy Toledo.. oh, where did we go?
Been really homesick.. missing my people -
I could laugh later... But I’ll just cry now
I left a life behind just to figure mine out
I’m livin’ in the past, thinkin’ 'bout my old town,
Swervin’ down a country road,
I took a wrong route.

You can’t have love
If you don’t give it away
Ya might get some
But you ain’t gonna stay...
ya try to do it different -
But you’re feeling the same.
I don’t need the sun
When I walk in the rain..
Holy Toledo...
Only Toledo...
Holy Toledo...
Grown in Toledo

I think of Bobby during June..
And Ridin’ bikes out by the slew
We use to roll down east slope
Now we’re by east 22...
I won’t wait up to see the bullshit
Pockets full of cowards
You may not smell the roses..
we still smell the flowers..
lookin’ for ourselves
But we don’t see it still..
this ain’t your everyday -
Run of the mill...
Timbers is still open..
Arcadia’s lookin’ bare.
I never rep where I’m from
Because no body fucking cares
These doors are always closin’
But people stay unaware...
Screamin’... HOLY TOLEDO...
I’m glad I got outta there!!
Still lookin’ for my way up out this place.
Still searchin, I been waitin’ on my day...
Still lookin’, while you all just look away...
Holy Toledo...
I really needed a change.

You can’t have love
If you don’t give it away.
Ya might get some
But you ain’t gonna stay...
ya try to do it different -
But you’re feeling the same.
I don’t need the sun
When I walk in the rain..
Holy Toledo...
Only Toledo...
Holy Toledo...
Grown in Toledo
