They're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone
|
|
I never thought that I'd be hanging around this damned old town
|
I always thought the world was flat so I just kinds hung around
|
I got a job but it ain't much sure keeps my feet down on the ground
|
|
I was born here I was raised here so I'm bound to be appraised here after
|
while
|
I thought that I was real cool man they missed me at my high school by a
|
mile
|
everything I learned I let it burn with no return in that old fire
|
|
someday I'm gonna draw my own map honey
|
I'm gonna nail it to the wall
|
chart my course dream a lot and save my money
|
they're gonna miss me when I'm gone
|
they're gonna miss me when I'm gone
|
|
man if I have to drive this truck around the square one more time I'm going
|
to bust
|
everybody follows everybody around some silly kind of trust
|
yeah I've trusted destination long enough it rains a lot I'm going to rust
|
|
I sit down in the parking lot of the Hy-vee after midnight and I cried
|
yeah that old sorrow's getting to me but tomorrow I still won't be
|
satisfied
|
I'm feeling all unraveled man I throw a lot of gravel when I'm wild
|
|
everyone in town here tells everyone around here what to do
|
man I just can't go for that I can't stand for that when they do that can
|
you?
|
well my best thinking has kept me here so I best think of ways that I can
|
move
