Dear Bradenton
You have been good to me
You kept your word
And got me through these years
All I ask is that you'll be there
When I 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
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

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 I return

    General Comment:Real version:

    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
    Eastern 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

    General Comment:this song is great. it made me think about how everything changes, but what matters is that you change for the better. i've been attached to my hometown my entire life, and just thinking about what will happen once i move away hurts like hell.

    General Comment:I almost cried when I heard the song for the very first time, this is one of this song who doesn't need 'much' music or this complicated lyrics. This one of those songs who is so simple and they can touch everyone's soul because it’s sung with so much true emotion. The simple story about the place where you grew up with this people they can never be replaced. About this safety you can always return to, somehow this ‘anonymous promise’. This song gives me the feeling that everything is going to be okay as long as you not forget what really matters to your soul.
