Well, the songs you sung spiraled 
And hung round like echoes 
Or ripples on a pond
So you circled the globe 
Spent a year on the road
Without ever going home
More than a couple of days
Then you leave right away
Run to a girl you barely know
But you like how she sings 
And you can't help but think
That there's something that she knows 
And could teach you

Well you're sleeping in that southern state 
Where the bars are filled 
With people you can't hate
But try as you try 
You still can't relate to them
You drink that whiskey down 
As they ask you:
Are you who you say you are?
The fact that we can't tell
Makes us like you even more

So now you're trying again 
Or just visiting friends
One had just had his heart broke
For the first time in his life 
He realized there are times
When you can't make it alone
So now you are giving advice 
As if you had the right
To use a word like love
It's a negotiable term
What gets said's not what is heard
So it's different then for everyone

But you've been hanging 
Around that college town
With your new life
Your new lover you found
And you are keeping her up at night 
Bringing her down
She'll watch you drink yourself to death 
But won't ask you
Is this really what you want?
Or are you just sticking with it now 
Cause it's all you got?
