Something's Keeping Me Here

There are minutes when I want to leave this town

With the shirt on my back

And saves the day stuck in my head

But there's something keeping me here

I tell myself I won't go back

I'll never even look back

My friends are the only thing making me turn around

Keeping these sleepy eyes from staring at the ground

But I like it that way

They like it that way

I don't know where I'm going

I'm having one hell of a time getting there

Everyone's trying to find the meaning of the nights

We spent laughing forever

I don't know if we'll ever find it

I could sure as hell care less

The friends I've grown up with are still here

Kids I don't see anymore

Have left their hearts and minds in years behind

I look in my rearview mirror and think back

To the night at Denny's

When Mark and I laughed so hard we cried

I don't know where I'm going

I'm having one hell of a time getting there

Everyone's trying to find the meaning of the nights

We spent laughing forever

I don't know if we'll ever find it

I could sure as hell care less

I felt the still st. Louis nights

And the heat from the Las Vegas lights

I have seen the sun-beaten Texas skies

And cars from new york city passing by

But nothing's better than the wind running through my street

Through my street

One, two, three, four

I don't know where I'm going

I'm having one hell of a time getting there

Everyone's trying to find the meaning of the nights

We spent laughing forever

I don't know if we'll ever find it

I could sure as hell care less
