Die To Go Home

This town was too slow, it was way too quiet

I was bored to death every Saturday night

Left my Mom and Dad, in my rearview mirror

I promised myself I ain't coming back here

18, careless, wild, and reckless

Stars in my eyes

They tried to tell ya

"Man, you'll miss the simple life"

Just like gravity

Tugging at your soul

You'll pray to leave

But you'll die to go home

City lights, velvet ropes

There's always a party, everyone goes

Every crowded room, yeah, it's all the same

Who you are, who you're with, or the money you make

After a while, the empty smiles

Make lonely nights

All that matters, climbing ladders

Now I find

New York's hard and LA's cold

I prayed to leave now, I'd die to go home

I'd die to go home

Ooh, ooh

When I was a kid, I'd watch planes fly by

Leaving vapor trails and me behind

From my window seat there's a farm below

I was praying to leave now, I'd die to go home
