Anchor Down Town
[Intro]
(Hey)
[Verse 1]
She got her a free ride to college but she never left home
I got a call to play big league ball but that all changed
When I got in trouble with the law
We got a little house on the outskirts now
We're going out tonight to that only neon light
Yeah, we're gonna burn it down
Yeah, we're gonna burn it down
[Chorus]
With the same people drinking cold beer
All the same people 'round here
That's the way it's always been
How it's always gonna be
It's whеre I got my roots
Right here undеr me
Guess I just hang around
This anchor down town
[Post-Chorus]
(That's right)
[Verse 2]
I got this guitar from an old man
He was a preacher at the baptist church
Yeah, I learned to play a couple songs
Hell, I probably played them wrong
But it's how I got her (That's right)
And this gig down the road with a couple guys I know
Playing [?] songs and some old George songs
Yeah, we're gonna burn it down
Yeah, we're gonna burn it down, down, down
[Chorus]
With the same people drinking cold beer
All the same people 'round here
That's the way it's always been
How it's always gonna be
It's where I got my roots
Right here under me
Guess I just hang around
This anchor down town
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, yeah
[Bridge]
'Nother time, 'nother place
County road or real estate
We're all little different
Hell, we're all just the same
[Chorus]
With the same people drinking cold beer
All the same people 'round here
That's the way it's always been
How it's always gonna be
It's where I got my roots
Right here under me
Guess I just hang around
Yeah, I just hang around
This anchor down town
[Post-Chorus]
This anchor down town
Yeah
