Open roads and starry skies
Home, where buffalo used to roam
Thunderstorms and space to breathe
Lightning bugs and colorful dying leaves
But it's easier to stay away
Cause I still feel betrayed
And it's easier to hate this place
Than to wish I could have stayed
Backyard beers confirm my fears
You see a woman even after all these years
Why's your love just taste like pain?
Why say you're sorry just to take it back again?
So it's easier to stay away
Cause I still feel betrayed
And it's easier to hate this place
Than to wish I could have stayed
Coulda spent my Christmas on a different plane ticket
On a grand adventure anywhere but here
I'm sick of all who see this as a happy ending
Like I asked too much to be treated fair
So it's easier to stay away
Cause I still feel betrayed
And it's easier to hate this place
Than to wish I could have stayed
Wasted hot tub talks 'til dawn
You say time's up, forgive or don't come back again
Why's my brain still call this home?
Why'd I come here just to feel so alone?
