Come Back to Shelby

I still smell the smoke 
of the bridge that I burned. 
The bank of Sugar Grove 
you'd think I would've learned. 
Well easy as she goes 
til you say so. 

You were short skirts and combat boots 
I'm plastic army men. 
A backyard soldier til death or 
streetlights bring me in. 
You Romeo and Juliet 
Me Jack and Diane. 
Well I'll do the best I can 
How about you? 

Looking out over the side of this bar 
Sha la la la la la la 
On your rooftop in the dark 
I ain't the boy I used to be 
Sha la la la la la la 
Come on back to Shelby 

So come on back home 
the drugs just ain't the same. 
Without your condescending words 
to mock the pain. 

And your hand me down 
lies make it clear. 
Everything was just so swell 
when you were here. 

Looking out over the side of this bar 
Sha la la la la la la 
On your rooftop in the dark 
I ain't the boy I used to be 
Sha la la la la la la 
Come on back to Shelby. 

Looking out over the side of this bar 
Sha la la la la la la 
On your rooftop in the dark 
I ain't the boy I used to be 
Sha la la la la la la 
Come on back to Shelby 

So come on back 
Come on...back. 
Yeah!
