What the hell was I thinkin'   Comin' and livin' in this concrete canyon   Tryin' to swim upstream in a river of vacant eyed people   Where they going so fast?   What could be that important?      And I miss Mama   I wonder what she's doing   She's probably looking out that kitchen window   That green grass and clear sky      Daddy's probably sneakin' up behind her   Putting his arms around her waist   Restin' that head on her shoulder   Telling her how much he loves her   That's what I ought to be doing with you right now      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 bare feet propped up on those chain links   Toenails painted cotton candy pink, oh, man   Let's see, smog or the smell of summer in your hair   I'm outta here      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      Baby, I can't tell you how good it felt   To roll back into this little map dot   Seeing those sugar maples shading main street      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 some of those were ours   Kiss me, kiss me again      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 town   Population minus one      Just look at you and me   Right where we need to be, yeah
