Grays Town by Ren Stedman Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There really isn't very much to do
In this town where I grew up that I can't stand
I cannot wait to leave
But yet I still believe
That this town's made me who I really am
[Verse 2]
And the woman at the offie really hates me
But nowhere near the level that my boss
Despises what I think
And that I always ring in sick
But without these broken streets well I'd be lost
[Chorus]
This town might be small
But oh well so am I
This county's made of concrete
And I'm stuck until I die
Though I know I won't find better friends
Anywhere around
I've laid my roots and grown them in this town
[Verse 3]
Well I grew up on cereal and tv
At the weekends when my mum was working nights
There was nowhere else to go
In this town I've grown to know
And kids would pass the time by starting fights
[Verse 4]
Born into a town I don't belong in
I don't wear adidas or even watch the sport
All of my friends
Well, almost most of them
Spent all their teenage years going to court
[Chorus]
This town might be small
But oh well so am I
This county's made of concrete
And I'm stuck until I die
Though I know I won't find better friends
Anywhere around
I've laid my roots and grown them in this town
[Bridge]
And I know I might complain about my home and where I'm from
But most of all the places in this town I bloody love
And I'm always at the ship and drinking far too much to stand
And this place I know it has made me who I am
And I wouldn't change the people if they paid me
Well, even if some of them are shits
Grays might not be upper class, least we're not all up our arses
And good god, I love this place to bits
And good god, I love this place to bits
[Chorus]
This town might be small
But oh well so am I
This county's made of concrete
And I'm stuck until I die
Though I know I won't find better friends
Anywhere around
I've laid my roots and grown them in this town
Though I know I won't find better friends
Anywhere around
I've laid my roots and grown them in this town
There really isn't very much to do
In this town where I grew up that I can't stand
I cannot wait to leave
But yet I still believe
That this town's made me who I really am
[Verse 2]
And the woman at the offie really hates me
But nowhere near the level that my boss
Despises what I think
And that I always ring in sick
But without these broken streets well I'd be lost
[Chorus]
This town might be small
But oh well so am I
This county's made of concrete
And I'm stuck until I die
Though I know I won't find better friends
Anywhere around
I've laid my roots and grown them in this town
[Verse 3]
Well I grew up on cereal and tv
At the weekends when my mum was working nights
There was nowhere else to go

Though I know I won't find better friends
Anywhere around
I've laid my roots and grown them in this town
