From the heart
of the southern downs,
To the northeast London reservoirs.
From the start,
the land 'scaped my sound,
before I'd ever been to America
And if I knew anybody who played pedal steel guitar
I would get them in my band, and then my band would get real far
But I was raised in middle England, not in Nashville, Tennessee
and the only person in my band is me.
Simple scale
On an old guitar
And a punk rock sense of honesty.
I cannot fail
when I'm come this far
with no knowledge of midwest geography.
And if I knew anywhere, where I could drive in a straight line
for hour through the dessert, I'd drive for hours at a time.
But I was raised in middle England, not in Nashville, Tennessee,
and the only person in this car is me.
Yes I'm in four-four time,
and yes I use cheap, cheap rythmes,
but I try to make a sound my own.
No I don't break new ground,
many have traveled this sound,
but I try to make it sound like home.
Well I've been to Texas state,
I didn't think it was all that fucking great.
And Nebraska, is a bunch of songs.
All the way in Hampshire is where I belong.
And I don't know anybody who plays pedal steel guitar.
All the city roads are twisted, and I do not own a car.
I was raised in middle England, not in Nashville Tennessee,
And the only thing I'm offering is me.
