• A Home-Life Outsider

    I’m breaking out, out of this town
    gone away and there is nothing you can say to bring me back
    to this town, this little place of lies and deceptions

    this is the hell that I know, the only hell that I can recognize
    Just look at life through my eyes
    and you will see, you will know, all the trials I have been through
    because of these people

    a different world, a different place
    than most of us are used to

    I feel their stares as I walk by
    I feel the glares and the burning of their eyes
    their thirst for my demise

    ‘cause I’m stuck up, or so they say
    I’m a big-town girl, with big-town ways
    new ideas, city corruption
    and I’m no longer one of them

    I’m an outsider in my own town, my own home,
    my own life that they’ve never known

    so they label me a lost cause
    to their little society

    their little village,
    primative way of life
    they decide that I would’nt make
    a good island wife

    but I’ve got news, for those who will listen:

    I don’t care
    I’m leaving now
    me and my big city ways
    we are getting OUT!

    out of this town
    leave me alone
    let me go from the only place I’ve known

    let me leave
    let me be
    stop bothering me
    ‘cause I’m not one of you.
