Cross Country

I heard you turn off the front porch lights
While I was tryna swing for the fences
I helped your write off the Fourth of July
On your mama's business expenses

You call me crying cause she won't get dry
And you long run out of defenses
There's still a fire inside my eyes
And I ain't found my senses

So where did you go?
Did you know
You're supposed to tell me the truth?
I'm cursing this cross country run again
It's wasted on you

I wanted to tell you
The man I am is different than the boy you knew
So marry who you want to
I hope you know I'm different than the boy you knew

Oh, you probably never wanted to know
Maybe I should let it all go
You were hanging on to watch me implode
And I'm cursing this cross country road

Spent half a decade inside this song
Just to boil it down to three minutes
You'd probably tell me that I'm holding on
And I'd probably say you don't get it

I know nostalgia is my kryptonite
I ain't tryna say that it isn't
It's just this fire inside my eyes
And I ain't found my senses, no

So where did you go?
Did you know
You're supposed to tell me the truth?
I'm cursing this cross country run again
It's wasted on you

I wanted to tell you
The man I am is different than the boy you knew
So marry who you're supposed to
I hope you know I'm different than the boy you knew

Oh, you probably never wanted to know
Maybe I should let it all go
You were hanging on to watch me implode
And I'm cursing this cross country road
