Tombstones Lyrics

So I've been thinking

What is a legacy and is it something

I can build for myself

Because when it's all said and done

And we think we can move on

Will we ever be able to let it go

I just don't know

Down at the corner store

That ain't there anymore

Someone jimmied the door

And we used to sneak in on weekends

It's where we'd hide from the cops

Get high and have deep thoughts

About how if we ever got caught

We'd never see this place again

And two weeks after christmas

It got burned down

And I remember thinking

Dude, what is happening

To our town

To everything

We grew up around

It's all been torn down

To the ground

And I know these words

Ain't too profound

But I will love this town

Until the day I wear

A tombstone as a crown

Down at the old ravine

Where we hid our nudie magazines

Out back behind the Dairy Queen

Is where Rain said she saw an alligator

We asked if anyone was with

Or was this just another myth

She got really fucking pissed

When it was just a green refrigerator

And two weeks after Christmas

It was still there, obviously

Dude, what is happening

To our town

To everything

We grew up around

It's all been torn down

To the ground

And I know these words

Ain't too profound

But I will love this town

Until the day I wear

A tombstone as a crown

These are my memories

That I carry with me

My town's legacy, apparently

And it got me thinking

Who will be remembered

When the band breaks up

Will any of our friends

Even give a fuck

Or will we hold on

And sing our songs

Until we're dead

Because I know I'll love

Them and this town

Until the day I wear

A tombstone as a crown

A tombstone as a crown

So I've been thinking

What is a legacy and is it something

I can build for myself

Because when it's all said and done

And we think we can move on
