I'm Not Going Anywhere
Grandparent's Day, hear the secretary say
"That girl could run her own country"
If they could see me now at the sink, with Hannah on the brink
Well, it isn't so easy
Can you show me how?
Where's her patron saint? Where's her oracle?
Knows where she wants to be, but she says
I'm not going, I'm not going, I'm not, I'm not going anywhere
I'm not going, I'm not going, I'm not, I'm not going anywhere
So you keep boys tucked away all over the city
Every one of them handsome and all a call away
To fight each other, brother versus brother
All friendly fire
What a mess you've made
Keep the volume down, keep the troops well-fed
But once the blood rushes to my head, well
I'm not fooling, I'm not fooling, I'm not, I'm not fooling anyone
I'm not fooling, I'm not fooling, I'm not fooling anyone
If we all go numb before kingdom come, who will right these wrongs?
If we all picked muses out of a hat, we'd write the same songs
The funeral was tense, they said check on your friends
Like that's the best we've got
Like we could course-correct
I drove all day just to say her son kept an eye on me
We don't know how to do this yet
You say, "I remember that, though
That day you didn't show
I meant to check on you."
Well you didn't, so
Bat signal out to my fearsome friends
Every one of them pretty
They'd stab him in the back while I made amends
Live our lives by committee
And I'm no patron saint, I'm no oracle
But if the nation bears my name
Then I'm not going, I'm not going, I'm not, I'm not going anywhere
I'm not going, I'm not going, I'm not, I'm not going anywhere
I'm not going, I'm not going, I'm not, I'm not going anywhere
"That girl could run her own country"
If they could see me now at the sink, with Hannah on the brink
Well, it isn't so easy
Can you show me how?
Where's her patron saint? Where's her oracle?
Knows where she wants to be, but she says
I'm not going, I'm not going, I'm not, I'm not going anywhere
I'm not going, I'm not going, I'm not, I'm not going anywhere
So you keep boys tucked away all over the city
Every one of them handsome and all a call away
To fight each other, brother versus brother
All friendly fire
What a mess you've made
Keep the volume down, keep the troops well-fed
But once the blood rushes to my head, well
I'm not fooling, I'm not fooling, I'm not, I'm not fooling anyone
I'm not fooling, I'm not fooling, I'm not fooling anyone
If we all go numb before kingdom come, who will right these wrongs?

I'm not going, I'm not going, I'm not, I'm not going anywhere
I'm not going, I'm not going, I'm not, I'm not going anywhere
