Tampa Nugget by Topbunk (IL) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You'd pick up a penny
But let go of your wife
Is that what you taught me
On my mothers porch?
Collecting change
I'm sorry
Things can't change
Reflecting on the fact
You miss her dearly now
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You can't change
You can't change
You can't change
You can't change
[Chorus]
I want to hear the old war stories
Tell me of your brothers and their kids
Was it Wilson building churches
Spreading gospel to all the families?
Those pews are dwindling down every year
Every other Saturday
My mothers smile builds
To see her father's face
[Verse 2]
You'd pick up quartеr
But let go of your life
Werе you just too scared to fight?
You say you're afraid
More days behind you than in front
I say
You're not trying hard enough
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You didn't try
You didn't try
You didn't try
You didn't try
[Chorus]
I want to hear the old war stories
Tell me of your brothers and their kids
Was it Wilson building churches
Spreading gospel to all the families?
Those pews are dwindling down every year
Every other Saturday
My mothers smile builds
To see her father's face
[Bridge]
I don't think
We can dig more plots
To plant flowers in your place
I don't think
We can dig more plots
To plant flowers in your place
I don't think
We can dig more plots
To plant flowers in your place
I don't think
We can dig more plots
To plant flowers in your place
[Chorus]
I want to hear the old war stories
Tell me of your brother and their kids
Was it Wilson building churches
Spreading gospel to all the families?
Those pews are dwindling down every year
Every other Saturday
My mothers smile builds
To see her father's face
[Outro]
I don't think
We can dig more plots
To plant flowers in your place
I don't think
We can dig more plots
To plant flowers in your place
You'd pick up a penny
But let go of your wife
Is that what you taught me
On my mothers porch?
Collecting change
I'm sorry
Things can't change
Reflecting on the fact
You miss her dearly now
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You can't change
You can't change
You can't change
You can't change
[Chorus]
I want to hear the old war stories
Tell me of your brothers and their kids
Was it Wilson building churches
Spreading gospel to all the families?
Those pews are dwindling down every year
Every other Saturday
My mothers smile builds
To see her father's face
[Verse 2]
You'd pick up quartеr
But let go of your life
Werе you just too scared to fight?
You say you're afraid
More days behind you than in front
I say
You're not trying hard enough
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You didn't try
You didn't try
You didn't try
You didn't try
[Chorus]
I want to hear the old war stories
Tell me of your brothers and their kids
Was it Wilson building churches
Spreading gospel to all the families?
Those pews are dwindling down every year
Every other Saturday
My mothers smile builds
To see her father's face
[Bridge]

To plant flowers in your place
I don't think
We can dig more plots
To plant flowers in your place
I don't think
We can dig more plots
To plant flowers in your place
I don't think
We can dig more plots
To plant flowers in your place
[Chorus]
I want to hear the old war stories
Tell me of your brother and their kids

Spreading gospel to all the families?
Those pews are dwindling down every year

To see her father's face
[Outro]

To plant flowers in your place
I don't think
We can dig more plots
To plant flowers in your place
