From the heart of the
Southern Downs to the
North-East
London reservoirs
From the start the land scaped my sound before
I'd ever been to
America And if
I knew anybody who played pedal steel guitar
I'd get them in my band and then my band would get real far
But I was raised in middle
England and not in
Nashville
Tennessee
And the only person in my band is me
A simple scale on an old guitar and a punk rock sense of honesty
I cannot fail
I've got this far with no knowledge of mid-west geography
And if I knew anywhere where
I could drive in a straight line
For hours in the desert
I'd drive for hours at a time
But I was raised in middle
England not in
Nashville
Tennessee
And the only person in this car is me
And yes I'm in four-four time and yes
I use cheap cheap rhymes
But I try to make a sound my own
I know I don't break new ground many have travelled this sound
But I try to make it sound like home
Well I've been to
Texas state
I didn't think it was that f**king great
And Nebraska is just a bunch of songs
Holloway and
Hampshire where
I belong
And I don't know anybody who plays pedal steel guitar
All the city roads are twisted and
I do not own a car
I was raised in middle
England not in
Nashville
Tennessee
And the only thing
I'm offering is me
