Last Night in Windham

It's your last night in Windham
And it all comes to a head
You're leaving here for good this time
Don't got much to show for it
Your card got declined at the bar
Some last call as you take off
You're out of pills when you finally make it home
Tonight you'll have to sweat it out
What a life trying to outrun the sun
Might be time to meet
The man you haven't become

It's your last night in Windham
Funny how you started off at church
They say only God can judge you
But hell you wish everybody else could
Cuz you got the world thinking you're a white knight
Been given it all to follow the ranks
But slowly your friends been giving up on you
When you're only shooting blanks
What a life trying to outrun the sun
Might be time to meet
The man you haven't become

It's your last night in Windham
And nobody came to see the show
You're only getting older
And playing for tips doesn't help you grow
Your pride won't let you ask for help
So smile at the girl outside
Give her what she wants
You'll both put off loneliness for a night
What a life trying to outrun the sun
Might be time to meet
The man you haven't become

Mama I'm leaving Windham
I know you wish I'd stick it out
I've taken too many kicks to the stomach
Too many dark clouds over this town
What I'm doing hasn't been working
But I can't get myself to change
You told me I'm not cursed I'm blessed
Well I can't quite believe in that
What a life trying to outrun the sun
Think it's time I meet
The man I haven't become
