lyrics

I have never really found
A good reason to stick around
Oh I’ve tried to settle down
Can’t keep a man, can’t keep a town

I’m so tired of bummin' around
With a broken heart I’m nowhere bound
Everytime I stop and cry
I swear I hear that pedal steel whine (in a constant backing sound)

All I long for is a porch of my own
A place for my dogs to grow old in rural bliss (how about this)
All I want is a key to something stable
A place called home I would never leave and never miss

I’m so lonesome I could cry
I’m so tired of saying goodbye
I’m so tired of driving away
Losing friends and my memories

I have never really succeeded
At anything at all
At love I lost every little bet
‘Almost’ could be my middle name (can you hear it play?)

All I long for is a porch of my own
A place for my dogs to grow old in rural bliss (how about this)
All I want is a key to something stable
A place called home I’d never leave and never miss

...with a broken heart I’m nowhere bound
...can’t keep a man, can’t keep a town
