Something better than this Someplace I'd like to go To let all I've learned Tell me what I know About the kind of life I never thought I'd live Till the ugly truth Showed me what it did Let it pass on the side of the road What a friend could tell me now On a borrowed dime In a different light You might see what The other side looks like In a random room Behind an iron door Kick an empty can Across an empty floor Let it pass on the side of the road What a friend could tell me now

Getting so sick of your silly lies, I may have been dumb, but I'm getting wise You really head me running babe There was a time you'd looked at me and hypnotise Feel hung up and you bring me down Gets to deep and I start to frown You know what, you're not so hot 'Cause baby I've been trough it And you only do the things you do To prove that you can do it Oh, set me free, I got to see The other side of the road Oh, let me go, I got to know The other side of the road The other side of the road Burning up and I don't know why Got to cut loose and I got to try I can't stay with you forever Got a lot of things to do before I die Getting so tired of the state I'm in Need a new life, let it all beginn I've had all I can take of you I'm sick of your deceiving And it doesn't matter what you do 'Cause baby I'm still leaving Oh, set me free, I got to see The other side of the road Oh, let me go, I got to know The other side of the road The other side of the road

Put a dead cat on the railroad tracks When the wolf bains blooming by the tressel Get the eyeball of a rooster, stones from a ditch Wash 'em down with bilge water Say you'll never snitch Take the buttons from a yellow jacket Feather from a buzzard Blood from the bounty hunters, cold black heart Catch the tears of a widow in a thimble made of glass Tell your mama and your papa They can kiss your ass Poison all the water in the wishin' well Hang all them scarecrows from a sycamore tree And burn down them honeymoons and put 'em in a pillow case Wait next to the switch blades at the amusement park for me Strangle all the Christmas carols, scratch out all you prayers Tie 'em up with barbed wire, push them down the stairs I'll whittle you a pistol Keepin' nightmares off your blinds Them sons of bitches always seem to sneak up from behind Syphon all the gas from your daddy's pickup truck Fill up Jonny's T-Bird, I got a couple bucks Put on little perfume and ribbon in your hair Be careful that you don't wake up the hounds Tear a bolt of lightning from the side of the sky Throw her in the cedar chest If you want me, I'll tell you why Bring the gear shift knob from a 49 mere Lie down here beside me, let me hold you in the dirt You're gonna tremble Tear the throat out of the night Sink your teeth into my shoulder Dig your nails into my back Tell that little girl to let go of my sleeve You'll be a woman when I catch you Come baby, fall in love with me With my double barrel shotgun A whole box of shells We'll celebrate the 4th of July We'll do a hounfred miles an hour spendin' someone elses dough Drive all the way to Reno on the wrong side of the road Wrong side of the road On the wrong side of the road Wrong side of the road Wrong side of the road Wrong side of the road

It could be a summer in Arizona or winter in the Utah snow We could go, get lost in the stars from our backyard or somewhere in Tokyo Take me through the valleys, get there on the back roads Meet you at the highs and see you at the lows Wherever I am with you is where I wanna go, yep Oh-ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Wherever I am with you is where I wanna go, yep Oh-ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Wherever I am with you is where I wanna go I watch you wake, November fades nevеr too far from your mind It's times like thesе we ask, can we fast-forward or rewind? But when I zoom, and see that bird's eye view I know I would take it all just to have this life with you Can't make it up, it's just too tough to write this storyline The magic feel this time is real, I knew the whole time Oh-ooh, oh-ooh, I know I would take it all just To jump into a lake out in Seattle Wander New York City after a show It's a park bench down in Texas, or a small-town rodeo Take me to the mountain, get there on the back roads Meet you at the highs and see you at the lows Wherever I am with you is where I wanna go Wherever I am with you is where I wanna go Oh-ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Wherever I am with you is where I wanna go, yep Oh-ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Wherever I am with you is where I wanna go I know I would take it all just to have this life with you It could be a gas station out in nowhere Or driving down the highway one coast We could find ourselves in silent moments Or lose our voices singing to the radio You make it feel like Heaven, could be somewhere close I'll meet you at the highs and see you at the lows Wherever I am with you is where I wanna go Wherever I am with you is where I wanna go Wherever I am with you is where I wanna go, yep

Think it started in November I lost track maybe December I met you back in school Type to follow all the rules But when it came to lovin' You really showed me somethin' Don't take no math to love Only a fool would say it does Confided in you deeply Hoping one day you'd complete me But boy was I naïve Too young to have a dream You started actin' foolish Never thought that you would do this Confusion is what caught me But the pressure won't get off me When I'm with you boy it feels good But I always find myself misunderstood Then you tell me I'm trippin' And you start actin' distant It seems like It ain't my fault, my bad, my sorry I got my own, don't trip, don't worry I made it this far Think I'm capable to manage Let me be on my way Leave me alone with all the damage This ain't my first rodeo (Hey) I think it's time to be alone (Yeah) Fix all this shit I got in my head Mama tellin' me I'm losing weight It's the result of a heartbreak It's the result of a heartbreak (Yeah, yeah-eah) And I'm not the same See times have changed You made your choice So who's to blame? No, no, not me Why can't you see? This is how it has to be
