This Is Our Town

Dear Bradenton
You have been good to me
You’ve kept your word
And got me through these years

All I ask
Is that you’ll be there
When I return
From [?]
To lake woods fields

This is our town
This is you were meant to be
This is our town
Where our roots have grown so deep
This is our town
This is where we’re meant to be
This is our town
We’ll keep coming back because

Dear Bradenton
As the city sleeps tonight
You found us hiding out
Under parking garage lights
And you know
You know you’ll find us here
When we return

This is our town
This is our town
This is our town
(what are we running for?)
This is our town
(what are we running for?)
This is our town
(this is our town)

Dear Bradenton
As I gently close my eyes
I hear you whisper softly
As we continue our goodbyes
And all I ask
Is that you’ll be there
When I return
