Demos For Darling.

Salvation

My daddy work the night shift at the steel mill
He had a look in his eye to make a heart stand still
He’d drink too much to put himself down
My mother never approved but never made a sound

When I grow up I’m gonna get out of here, searching for salvation (2x)

I used to take my girlfriend down to the fountain square
We’d drive that old Hudson all night, we didn’t care
My daddy never liked her much, on account of she was black
The town always said something when we turned our backs

When I grow up I’m gonna get out of here, searching for salvation (2x)

And Babe, optimism ain’t what it used to be,
But hey, pessimism it got the worst of me.

At seventeen I got a job and quit school
My mother disapproved and my friends thought I was cool
I spent all my time getting my deuce into shape
I knew some day soon it would take me away

When I grow up I’m gonna get out of here, searching for salvation (2x)

On a cold winter night in the Steel City scene
He got home from work got drunk got mean
He put me through Hell so I put him through a window
I grabbed my keys and drove off into the snow

When I grow up I’m gonna get out of here, searching for salvation (4x)

And Babe, optimism ain’t what it used to be,
But hey, pessimism it got the worst of me.
