Tom Flannery Blacksburg Lyrics

Laying there...playing deadwhole lotta
nothing....running through my head
left home with all these hopes and dreams
now there's only whimpering and screams
in Blacksburg
in Blacksburg
today I lost my soul
in Blacksburg
This ain't supposed to happen here
folks will make that very clear
once they wash the blood away
and try to convince us all to stay
in Blacksburg
in Blacksburg
today I lost my soul
in Blacksburg
All I got is what I know
and here is where I learned to grow
learned to hate and learned to love
where I was pushed and learned to shove
in Blacksburg
in Blacksburg
today I lost my soul
in Blacksburg
seems a waste of time asking why
32 others had to die
when I open my eyes I start to cry

Question, condemn.....then crucify
Too soon to count up all the cost too soon to find all that's been lost
I wish Dr Phil would leave us be
he'll never know just what we see
in Blacksburg
in Blacksburg
today I lost my soul
in Blacksburg
So burn your candles and hit your knees
ask for it and you shall receive
your daily bread and reasons galore
why he takes more and more
in Blacksburg
in Blacksburg
today I lost my soul
in Blacksburg
seems a waste of time asking why
32 others had to die
when I open my eyes I start to cry
Question, condemn.....then crucify
Laying there...playing dead
whole lotta nothing....running through my head
left home with all these hopes and dreams
now there's only whimpering and screams
in Blacksburg
in Blacksburg
today I lost my soul
in Blacksburg
