lyrics
this little town of envy
takes hold of you
like your mother’s grip
back when we were small kids out in the yard
in that old tire swing
and the blades of grass crossed your feet again
it’s harder flying west, than driving east
well the car ran out of gas again
you’re wondering how we got here
these lonely roads are singing us to sleep
and there ain’t a town in sight
except the one we’re trying to leave tonight
and the seasons change, we should try to stay the same way
at least through the first half of the year
the southern wind behind your hair
and the sounds of spring came here early again
it’s harder flying west, than driving east
well the car ran out of gas again
you’re wondering how we got here
these lonely roads are singing you to sleep
and there ain’t a town in mind
except the one we’re trying to leave tonight
it’s harder keeping you than losing me
well it all came apart, it fell right out
all this time spent away from home
it ain’t coming back
so, don’t you try to take me back home
