Lyrics
Gainesville Rock City
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This map hung up on the truck stop hallway door
Is looking worn and I can hardly read it anymore
I feel like I'm a speck thrown on the map and
I can't help my urge to laugh, I never used to feel like that
Well I'm half awake and half a world away
All my past mistakes and every misspent day
I wouldn't have it any other way
I'll try through my haze and half-shut eyes to
Count up all the reasons why
I should be back at home tonight
Well I'm half awake and half a world away
All my past mistakes and every misspent day
Proves that I'll never change, I'll always stay the same
I wouldn't have it any other way
I wouldn't have it any other way
I wouldn't have it any other way
Gainesville rock city
Gainesville rock city
Gainesville rock city
Well I'm half awake, a world away
My past mistakes and those wasted days
I wouldn't have it any other way
I wouldn't have it any other way
