Melissa Ferrick - Nebraska lyrics
Your rating:
Yeah what are you waiting for Why don't you just hurry up and go Come on tear up and sweat for me And kiss me One more time Because we knew you were better Yes when you were out there on your own And somewhere inside you You were always getting up the nerve Planning out your exit Taking one deep breath to fake your forgiveness And then walking out to fight fear And her glorious roar Yeah so go then Just leave myself to me Cause I got where I am By getting back on my feet Look at me I'm tough as nails And sure I can stand up and sing back the wind But my strength is in my soul And unlike you my love My soul it lives Under my skin Under my skin Under my skin Under your nerves baby Hey I've been under your hands haven't I? And I'm sorry to say That your body It just don't work for me nomore Because it knows that I've been up here lying Just trying to save face by smiling When inside my heart looks like a disaster? Like blown out semi tires All over Nebraska And I am So far from a sure fire bet You could give me a mile head start and I'd still lose the race Yeah so go then Just leave myself to me Cause I got where I am By getting right back up on my feet Look at me I'm tough as nails And sure I can stand up here and sing back the wind But my strength is in my soul And unlike you my love Unlike you My soul it lives Under my skin Under my skin Under my skin Yeah so what are you waiting for boy Why don't you just hurry up pack up all your stuff and go Come on tear up and sweat for me And kiss me one more time sing to me sing to me sing to me
