Natives Lyrics by Model City

Home

2019

You can try to cut us down from the very place we stand
But we are held on by the roots of where we first began
You know
It's how the story goes
We were skipping stones of a concrete pond
We were loving every minute before the moment's gone
And you know
Just how it goes

Just having fun
It's how we live
It's where we came from
Just being natives

We were climbing trees in our friends' backyards
We were playing the the streets until it got too dark
And you know
We're doing fine
With the sunsets on the Tennessee sky
And our mothers' saying "Son don't let the bed bugs bite"
And we know
She knows we're alright

Just having fun
It's how we live
It's where we came from
Just being natives

Ooo way oh
Ooo way oh
Ooo way oh
Ooo way oh
Ooo way oh
Ooo way oh
Ooo way oh
Ooo way oh

Growing up wasn't half this hard
Life is tough
We can make it far
Just having fun
It's how we live
It's where we came from
Just being natives
