[Verse 1]
The bus stop leans in the rain
Past the pawn shop and the laundromat
Your name still sits in the same old chair
At the diner by the railroad track
The paint peels off the post office wall
Like the town forgot to hold it up
Every Tuesday feels like last week
And every smile runs out of luck
[Pre-Chorus]
You can count the dogs
In the empty yards
You can count the cracks
In the grocery lot
You can count the days
By the church bell sound
But nothing here
Ever gets around
[Chorus]
Same gray sky, same gray street
Same tired shoes on my feet
(Gray sky, gray sky)
Nothing blooms, nothing leaves
Just this town and me
(Same gray sky)
[Verse 2]
Motel ice machine spits all night
Kids draw arrows in the dust
A flag hangs stiff above the gas pumps
Like it’s too tired to trust
Your brother left in a borrowed car
Your mother folds the same old bills
The TV glows on a paper table
And the whole room sits so still
[Pre-Chorus]
You can count the trains
When they pass too far
You can count the lies
On the boardwalk signs
You can count the lights
In the mobile homes
But none of it
Gets you home
[Chorus]
Same gray sky, same gray street
Same tired shoes on my feet
(Gray sky, gray sky)
Nothing blooms, nothing leaves
Just this town and me
(Same gray sky)
[Bridge]
I tried to dream in color
But it washed out slow
In a town this small
Even shadows know
We keep our faces down
We keep our voices low
Like if we stay quiet
Maybe no one'll know
[Final Chorus]
Same gray sky, same gray street
Same tired shoes on my feet
(Gray sky, gray sky)
Nothing blooms, nothing leaves
Just this town and me
(Same gray sky)
Same gray sky, same gray street
Same tired shoes on my feet
(Gray sky, gray sky)
Nothing blooms, nothing leaves
Just this town and me
(Same gray sky)
