For The Record Lyrics - Singles - Stretch Arm Strong

I'm not exactly proud of the place I'm from 

But I've been here my whole life, so I guess I'll call it home 

In South Carolina a flag still shows the enslavement of our minds 

But in South Carolina, I learned from all the times 

Went to all-ages shows, Sunday Matinees 

Hanging out, wondering if the bands would show and even play 

Bands would come and we'd all sing along, sing along, sing along 

Would they ever know their impact would last so long? 

The world is full of lonely places, no matter where you're from 

A crowded show, familiar faces make me feel at home 

Many kids have come and gone but I know what kept me here 

The magic of those songs has sustained me through the years 

I heard the word sincerity and I know now what that means 

I learned it first with black flag, Mohawks, combat boots and torn-up jeans 

We were more than just a tour date, you were more than just a song 

We sweat and sang together and that helped us to carry on 

We were more, you were more 

We were more than just a tour date, you were more than just a song 

We sweat and sang together and that helped us to carry on 

We were more than just a tour date, you were more than just a song 

We sweat and sang together and that helped us to carry on 

We were more, you were more for the record
