This road is windy and I've been lost for awhile
I no longer know where I'm going and I don't know where I've been
It's like waking up in a new day every day
It's like being trapped in a movie but there's no Bill Murray
Sometimes you find yourself in nothing but a lot of pain
You wonder to yourself who you should point the blame
But there's no one to blame only yourself
It's time you wake up baby go ahead and make the change
Somethings gotta give because you'll break before it does
You're stopped at a green light you just gotta give it a nudge
~chorus
Something about this place it ain't doing it for me tonight
I'll be back on the road before dawn so don't wait up it'll be alright
"I'll talk to you again soon" was written on the bottom of my left shoe
And you could read the footprints as they faded down that old dirt road too
~verse
It's been so long since I've felt this way
In the grand scheme of things we'll all just die one day
So I want to spend the rest of this life staring death in the face
White knuckled, hanging on with my eyes on the very next place
I don't want to live in a world of constant confusion
I shouldn't have to live a life of what ifs and might've beens
I'ma take this world by the coattails and make it spin
I'ma be the cause of all your good times and just say when's
Come on people now smile on your brother
Everybody get together and try to love one another right now
~chorus
Something about this place is doing everything for me tonight
I'll be back tomorrow morning don't worry baby my key fits alright
"There's waffles in the oven" was written on a napkin by the stove
I wanna walk in the room, snatch you up, and steal you away to Mexico
