"Country Teen" lyrics

"Country Teen"

The night is wasted
Sorry you passed out on the lawn
Hours later, you couldn't get him on the phone
And when he got back home, all the lights were on

I can hear you
Now and then the sound is almost gone
Well, I'd be near you
If you were willing to be near anyone
It's never you at all, and when the sky begins to fall

Will you get to the point, and walk away, girl
You've been cutting it close for far too long
There's an innocence lost
Throughout the day, girl

When you're flipping a coin, you're half away girl
I know that it would be good
If I could only pick a side
You know when somebody goes, somebody stays, girl

I am leaving
Leaving town and going on
Well, sorry darling
But I never meant to do you harm
The situation's wrong, and the blame is all your own
