Face Down In The Right Town
Earlimart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So you did what you thought was right
Oh giving up the fight
The only way that we knew was wrong
Got me hanging on and on
It?s everything you want
Everything you need

And the people who counted on
Let you down one by one
So be sure what you?re asking for
Telephone don?t ring no more
It?s everything you want
Everything you need

Ooh in the right crowd
Face down in the right town
No good uptown
But maybe somehow
We?ll get back home

Don?t care who walks through the door
The life I paid twice for
Rearranging the furniture
It reminds me of who you were
It?s everything you want
Everything you need

Ooh in the right crowd
Face down in the right town
No good uptown
But maybe somehow

Ooh in the right crowd
Face down in the right town
No good uptown
But maybe somehow
We?ll get back home

We?ll get back home




We?ll get back home
We?ll get back home

Line by Line Meaning

So you did what you thought was right
You made a decision based on what you thought was the best course of action


Oh giving up the fight
You stopped pushing back against the obstacles you faced


The only way that we knew was wrong
The approach we took was flawed


Got me hanging on and on
I am still struggling to move on from the consequences of that decision


It's everything you want
The outcome seemed desirable


Everything you need
The proposed solution appeared to be the ideal answer


And the people who counted on
The individuals I relied on


Let you down one by one
Disappointment came with each one's inability to assist me


So be sure what you're asking for
Think critically before making any big decisions


Telephone don't ring no more
Communication is no longer happening


Ooh in the right crowd
Being around the right people


Face down in the right town
Despite being in the right town, the situation is not good


No good uptown
The upper part of town does not provide a better situation


But maybe somehow
There is still hope for a positive outcome


Don't care who walks through the door
I am indifferent to the presence of anyone


The life I paid twice for
I suffered the consequences of that decision


Rearranging the furniture
Changing my surroundings


It reminds me of who you were
It brings back memories of someone who is no longer present


We'll get back home
We will eventually return to a place where we feel safe and comfortable
