Intro
Verse 1
There's A Bridge Out To The Ocean That We Take Out To The Beach
But The State Wants To Replace It Cause The Lumber Isn't Cheap
And The Piping Plovers Shut Down Out To Crossing Number Three
We Promise We Won't Hurt Em We'll Just Let Em Be
And They Lowered All The Limits And Haven't Built No More Sidewalks
And Instead Just Send The Police For More Traffic Stops
And If You Knew It Were Like This Would You Stay Anyway
You Don't Have To Love This You Can Leave It Anyday
Bridge
And Things Are So Much Prettier Out There
And People Are So Much Kinder Everywhere
And The Girls Out There Are So Much More Your Speed
And Everything Is More Of What You Need
Chorus
But You're Harbored In This Place With People You Don't Know
And They Shut Down The Whole Town At The Slightest Threat Of Snow
And At Home If It Were Like This And The Plows Got Out On Time
You'd Still Be In Class For The Seven Thirty Chime
And If You Ever Miss Us You Can Call Us All The Time
And If You Wanna Come Back You Can Be The First In Flight
The First In Flight
The First In Flight
Break
Verse 2
Worryin About The Bills And Living On My Own
Everybody Out Here Just Bought A Brand New Home
Tons Of Things Do But Nowhere Else To Be
And The Next Door Neighbors Are About To Get Married
Bridge
And Things Are So Much Prettier Out There
And People Are So Much Meaner Everywhere
But The Girls Out Here Are So Much More My Speed
And Everything Is More Of What I Need
Chorus
And I'm Stuck Here In This Place With People I Don't Know
And Everyone Is Looking Like I Got Nowhere To Go
And At Home If It Were Like This They'd Keep On Asking Why
All Of My Damn Neighbors Are Smiling All The Time
But I'm Loving Where I Am I Love Who I've Become
I'm Learning To Forgive All The Bad Shit That I've Done
I'll Come Back Someday Not In The Nick Of Time
But If I Ever Hate It I'll Be First In Flight My My
