They squeeze my mama out twice a day
and she don’t even know why I’ve gone away
She’s prob’ly this minute on her knees to pray for her boy
I can’t get much farther from the nearest town,
I can’t get much closer to breaking down
I hope the boys all toast me with the royal Crown back home
I used to dream about drifting around the world on a wave
It’s safe to say I wouldn’t be doing that back home
I heard about traveling across the land,
heard about sailing the seven sands
I eat more Cheetos than I ever planned, you can bet
The radio was trying to tell me ‘bout a pretty smile,
but it’s too slow
I already turned the dial
I used to cry when I remembered, but it’s been a while today
Now some lady’s saying something, how she’s nearly free
Well that’s the last thing on my mind, honey, let me be
And the last thing I need is for you to remember me
You know, that old tub of goo said he’d love to put me away
And I guess he’d wet himself if I went back home
I follow my nose to the next motel,
I might tell you with a straight face I’m doing well
If my socks hadn’t turned into a kind of gel last week
Why don’t they just get it over with, it’s not that hard
How long have I been driving this exact same car?
Think I’ll just pull over, sleep under the stars tonight
Give mom a call, tell her I’m alright
I thought she’d tell me that I wasn’t brought up this way
Or maybe try to find something cheerful to say
She said , ‘you made your bed, and it’s time to lay, my son.
You were born on such a beautiful day, my son’
She said, ‘was it your daddy or your sister that taught you to run?’

You can close it off
All the world is still
Huddled up before your time
At least it wasn’t long, at least it’s over now
Even though you know you always will be different
Falling to the back
Leave it like it was
Don’t believe them all the time
