Dear Bradenton
You have been good to me
You've kept your word
And got me through these years
And all I ask
Is that you'll be here
When I return
To share arms
In what we have learned
For so long these streets were my home
Dear Bradenton
As the city sleeps the night
You found us hiding out
Under parking garage lights
And you know
You know you'll find us here
When we return
From Anna's isle to
Lakewood's fields
This is our town
This is who we're meant to be
This is our town
Where our roots have grown so deep
This is our town
This is where we're meant to be
This is our town
We'll keep coming back because...
This is our town
This is our town
This is our town
(What are we running for?)
This is our town
(What are we running for?)
This is our town
(This is our town)
Dear Bradenton
As I gently close my eyes
I hear you whisper softly
As we continue our goodbyes
And all I ask
Is that you'll be there
When we return
Cause this is our town
This is who we're meant to be
This is our town
We're our roots have grown so deep
All I ask is that you'll be here
When I return
The lyrics don't completely match the song, if you listen to the CD while reading the lyrics. I live in the same spot as Bradentown, but on the East Coast. I love this song.
Yup. This song is about their hometown(and where I grew up too) BRADENTON, FL. They want to come back anytime to just relax... I was at their concert last night and Travis said, "We love being back home. When we walk outside, we instantly start sweating." Haha, it's soo true. They talk about how they'll come back to Anna Maria Island and across to Lakewood Ranch. And they hope that the city and all its people will just treat them the same as before, even though they're famous now.
Its about my hometown Bradenton, and how you should never forget where you came from. And its Lakewood's fields, not eastern, they are refrencing to Lakewood Ranch.
well.. i tink.. they're referring to ppl who wana runaway from towns and homes? y migrate? since that's the place where they grew and started thier roots as well as built up lives.. so many meaningful memories are left back ther.. plus, this is to the ppl who got famous.. its jes a msg sayin dat don forget where u came from.. be proud to be part of ur town.. cool song tho.. love it alot!
This is about their hometown. It's their getaway when they are all wrapped up in their work and the music industry. They hope that they can go back to Bradenton whenever and hope it never changes for them.
