American Aquarium Reidsville


In a town where what you know dont make you who you are
It all comes down to the car you drive
Whether your a Mustang or a Chevrolet man,
if you dont know now, you better start choosing your side
Cause every Friday night, take her up town and line her you on South Scale street
It looks like a pariade on Independence Day,
with your homecoming bride in the passenger seat
We were too young to know, what this town had in store
We were too much in love to give a goddamn
With expectations high its always do or die
It seems like our fate already been sealed in... Reidsville
When I turned eighteen, I sold that car... traded wheels for a wedding band
A Plymouth hunter green, big block with three on the tree
With every nut and bolt turned by these two hands
It was a good start, then things just got so hard
Where the hell did we fall off track
Now I work for her dad, and the pay it aint half bad
Keeps a roof on her head and the bank off my back
We were too young to know, what this town had in store
We were too much in love to give a goddamn
With expectations high its always do or die
It seems like our fate already been sealed in... Reidsville
That girl of mine, how her eyes they used to shine like two rare stones set out on display
We were wild and we were young and we could take on anyone
Now her eyes are darker that a funeral serenade
And I'd burn it down, every square inch of this town just to see one more smile on her face
When it comes my day to die, I wanna look God in eyes and ask Him why he gave up on this place
Cause we were too young to know, what this town had in store
We were too much in love to give a goddamn
With expectations high its always do or die
It seems like our fate already been sealed in... Reidsville
