The Right Stuff
Bus station in the evening
Bags around my knees
Phone's ringing at the end of the line
And I'm finding it hard to breathe
I left home with a dream
The future at my feet
If they could only see me standing
Stranded in the pouring street
They'd know I'm leaving now
I couldn't even it out
I had a dream in this town
But I'm leaving now
Broke dishes in the kitchen
I couldn't cut it door-to-door
Spent so much of my time alone
I couldn't think straight anymore
My heart is so heavy
I feel it beating in the dark
I've been keeping it together
Ever since we've been apart
But you know I'm leaving now
I couldn't even it out
I had a dream in this town
But I'm leaving now
Up late waiting on a night bus
I've been awake so long, since dawn
They'll say I didn't have the right stuff
I did my best, all that's left
Is to say so long
Standing still as a statue
Hope hanging on a word
The ringing ends, the line goes dead
And I don't know a soul in the world
But I know I'm leaving now
Couldn't even it out
I believed in this town
But I'm leaving now
I paid all my rent
All my money's gone
I saved every cent
I called my dad and mom
Send my bus fare home
Dinner in a sack
Don't care where it goes
I'm not going back
Stamp my ticket on the night bus
I've been away too long, so long
You can say I didn't have the right stuff
I did my best, now all that's left
Is to say so long
Bags around my knees
Phone's ringing at the end of the line
And I'm finding it hard to breathe
I left home with a dream
The future at my feet
If they could only see me standing
Stranded in the pouring street
They'd know I'm leaving now
I couldn't even it out
I had a dream in this town
But I'm leaving now
Broke dishes in the kitchen
I couldn't cut it door-to-door
Spent so much of my time alone
I couldn't think straight anymore
My heart is so heavy
I feel it beating in the dark
I've been keeping it together
Ever since we've been apart
But you know I'm leaving now
I couldn't even it out
I had a dream in this town
But I'm leaving now
Up late waiting on a night bus
I've been awake so long, since dawn
They'll say I didn't have the right stuff
I did my best, all that's left
Is to say so long
Standing still as a statue
Hope hanging on a word
The ringing ends, the line goes dead
And I don't know a soul in the world
But I know I'm leaving now
Couldn't even it out
I believed in this town
But I'm leaving now
I paid all my rent
All my money's gone
I saved every cent
I called my dad and mom
Send my bus fare home
Dinner in a sack
Don't care where it goes
I'm not going back
Stamp my ticket on the night bus
I've been away too long, so long
You can say I didn't have the right stuff
I did my best, now all that's left
Is to say so long
