Reidsville - American Aquarium

In a town where what you know don’t make you who you are

It all comes down to the car you drive

Whether you’re a Mustang or a Chevrolet man

If you don’t know now, you better start choosin' your side

'Cause every Friday night, you’ll take her uptown

And line her you on South Scales Street

It looks like a parade on Independence Day

With your homecomin' bride in the passenger seat

We were too young to know what this town had in store

We were too much in love to give a goddamn

With expectations high it’s always do or die

It seems like our fate’s already been sealed in… Reidsville

When I turned eighteen, I sold that car

Traded wheels for a wedding band

A Plymouth hunter-green, big block with three on the tree

With every nut and bolt turned by these two hands

It was a good start, then things just got so hard

Where the hell did we fall off track?

Now I work for her dad, and the pay it ain’t half bad

Keeps a roof on her head and the bank off my back

'Cause we were too young to know what this town had in store

We were too much in love to give a goddamn

With expectations high it’s always do or die

It seems like our fate’s already been sealed in… Reidsville

That girl of mine, how her eyes they used to shine

Like two rare stones set out on display

We were wild and we were young and we could take on anyone

Now her eyes are darker than a funeral serenade

And I’d burn it down, every square inch of this town

Just to see one more smile on her face

When it comes my day to die, I wanna look God in the eyes

And ask Him why He gave up on this place

'Cause we were too young to know what this town had in store

And we were too much in love to give a goddamn

With expectations high it’s always do or die

It seems like our fate’s already been sealed in… Reidsville
