"Stillwater" lyrics

She couldn't wait to go to college
Get away from her mom and dad
She couldn't wait to yell, "Go Cowboys"
All dressed up in orange and black

She couldn't wait to buy a fake from Kansas
Spend her money on weed and beer
Get fucked up for graduation
It's the same shit every year

And it must be nice to leave this place
Put it in gear and leave it in the past
It must be nice to watch it fade
You'd know if you ever come back

It'll still be kids getting drunk on the strip
Acting like local boys don't exist
Will still be the same 'cause nobody bothers
That's the problem with Stillwater

And the next class is already enrolled
They show up when the summer ends
You know it ain't too bad when she goes
Back to Texas with her fake friends
'Cause they made Perkins Road a little wider this year
Just to make it easier to get the hell out of here

And it must be nice to leave this place
Put it in gear and leave it in the past
It must be nice to watch it fade
You'd know if you ever come back

It'll still be kids getting drunk on the strip
Acting like local boys don't exist
It'll still be the same 'cause nobody bothers
That's the problem

It's the best four years of her life until they're gone
But to me, she wrecked the one place that, well, I call home

And it must be nice to leave this place
Put it in gear and leave it in the past
Must be nice to watch it fade
You'd know if you ever come back

It'll still be kids getting drunk on the strip
Acting like local boys don't exist
It'll still be the same 'cause nobody bothers
That's the problem

It'll still be me getting drunk on the strip
Acting like your memory don't exist
It'll still be the same, 'cause you never bothered
That's the problem with Stillwater
With Stillwater
