| It's been a long day driving |
| It's been a hard couple years |
| And I left, I left myself blinded |
| From all of the tears |
|
| Now the halt comes grinding |
| And it's mashed up all the gears |
| And I see, I see myself siding |
| With my cynical fears |
|
| So we could keep on trying |
| Or we could sell the farm |
| Just buy me out |
| Buy me out |
|
| We want to see you smiling |
| Said my mother on the hill |
| But the distance keeps widening |
| Between what I let myself say |
| And what I feel |
|
| And my sister said, "It's alright |
| You can stay with me |
| If you need a place to calm down |
| Till you get back on your feet" |
|
| So we can give up trying |
| And you can keep the farm |
| Just buy me out |
| Buy me out |
|
| Oh-whoa, I'm out of your way |
| Oh-whoa, and part of me stays |
| Oh-whoa, I got off my train |
| Oh-whoa, and everything's strange from the outside |
|
