Yeah nothing's been the same at the local parade
But I love you like I did back then
We were walking home drinkin' cherry Kool-Aid
And I was feeling like I'd made a friend
And I know I can't keep holding that against you
Yeah, I know you were just doing your job
When I was younger I was always looking
For answers in the same old songs
Everybody slow down
Your savior's in town
And he's bought himself a brand new suit
They dressed him up nice in them pinstripes
And now his necktie's baby blue
But now I'm grown, and
He's just an old man
I'm drinking water as clear as my eye
But I'm playing in the band and I'm watching all the floats go by
I was growing out my hair and I was learning guitar
I was living with my doors unlocked
In the evening you were singing me to sleep
But by the morning I'd been robbed
Now I've never asked much of anybody
But maybe its time I did
Because the lucky ones have always had plenty
And the rest of us have had jack shit
Everybody slow down
Your savior's in town
And he's bought himself a brand new suit
They dressed him up nice in them pinstripes
And now his necktie's baby blue
But now I'm grown, and
He's only a man.
I drink water as clear as my eye
But I'm still playing in the band and I'm watching all the floats go by
Now I've honored all my elders and I've swallowed my pride
Yeah, I traded it in on your word
I could hum your tune, it's simple enough
But I promise you, I'll never learn
I'd been standing here too long just watching
So I walked until I found the poll
Burned through my shoes and I asked are you sure
That this is all it takes to save our souls?
And you told me, slow down
Your savior's in town
And he's bought himself a brand new suit
Don't he look nice in his pinstripes
And see his necktie's baby blue?
But now I'm grown, and
He's only a man
I drink water as clear as my eye
But I'm playing in the band and I'm watching all the floats go by
Nothing will ever change at the local parade
But I'll love you like I've always been.
Good intentions pave the way on to hell
But good intentions might be all I got left
Yeah that route's been worn out for some time now
Band's been playing these songs for years
So don't blame the folks at home
When nothing's ever changed around here
Slow down
Your savior's in town
And he's bought himself a brand new suit
Don't he look nice in his pinstripes
And see his necktie's baby blue
But now I'm grown and
He's only a man
I drink water as clear as my eye
But I'm playing in the band and I'm watching all the floats go by
I'm playing in the band and watching all the floats go by
