I Come From a Place

from This is Our Story​.​.​. by Cat Murphy Band

/

lyrics

I come from a place where you drive fast and you get there faster
Stop signs are optional there’s no risk of disaster
Tap the breaks, slow down and look both ways you see for miles

I come from a place we would hang out in the backyard
BBQ, play with the dogs, then we’d light up the campfire
Singing songs all night till all the neighbours gather round

I come from a place we would bike out to the old creek
Catching fish make promises we knew that we could never keep
But man, we were alive way back then

I did not know it at the time
That these people and these streets would be the
Strings that pull me back each time

I come from a place we would walk out to the outdoor rink
Lace-up our skates pick teams, hockey playing until our cheeks were pink
And our toes were numb

I come from a place where my neighbour all know my name
They watched me grow up, throw the ball, they laughed when I learned how to drive
Got them back when I babysat their kids

I did not know it at the time
That these people and these streets would be the
Strings that pull me back each time

I come from a place where the whole world shuts down at night
No one on the streets, no screamin’ sirens, speeding cars or bright lights
The sun goes down and it gets dark

I go back to that place, every now and then I visit
I catch up with old friends, you can bet that I miss them
That place will always be my home

Now I’m from a place where the trains fly through the sky
I live in a tall building, lookin’ down it’s really high
No one knows my name

I did not know it at the time
That these people and these streets would be the
Strings that pull me back each time

If I settle down, I want my kids to drive real fast
To bike down to the creek, sing around the campfire in back
I want to laugh like that

I did not know it at the time
But these people and these streets would be the
Strings that pull me back
