(Wendell Mobley Neil Thrasher Kent Blazy)



What the hell was I thinkin'

comin' and livin' in the concrete canyon

trying to swim upstream in a river of vacant eyed people

where are they going so fast what in the world could be that important

and I miss mama

wonder what she's doing

probably looking out that kichen window

at the green grass and that clear sky

Daddy's probably sneakin' up behind you

putting his hands around her waist

restin his head on her shoulder

telling her how much he loves her

that's what I ought to be doing with you right now



(chorus)

I find it hard breathe

without you next to me

gonna leave this phone hangin' I'm gone

before the sun goes down

gonna ditch this town

population minus one



Oh yeah....I know what I was thinkin'...I wasn't

I came this close to making the biggest mistake of my life

is that a train I hear in the background

you're on the porch aren't you

got your head resting on that pillow on the swing

your feet propped up on those chain links

your toenails painted cotton candy pink ah man

let's see...smog or the smell of summer in your hair

I'm outta here



(repeat chorus)



Baby I can't tell you good it felt

to roll back into this little map dot

seeing those sugar maples shading mainstreet

and I never noticed it before but i smiled when I saw

all those post game celebration beer bottle dents

in that deer crossing sign

you know a few of those were ours

kiss me..kiss me again



(chorus)

It feels so good to breathe

with you here next to me

In your arms it feels like home

gonna watch the sun go down

I need you more than I need that t
