It's been a long day drivin'
It's been a hard couple years
And I left, I left myself blinded
From all of the tears
Now the halt comes grindin'
And it's mashed up all the gears
And I see, I see myself sidin'
With my cynical fears

So we could keep on trying
Or we could sell the farm
Just buy me out
Buy me out

We want to see you smiling
Said my mother on the hill
But the distance keeps widening
Between what I let myself say and what I feel
And my sister said, It's alright
You can stay with me
If you need a place to calm down
Till you get back on your feet

So we can give up trying
And you can keep the farm
Just buy me out
By me out

Oh, I'm out of your way
Oh, and part of me stays
Oh, I got off the train
Oh, and everything's strange from the outside
