He said

"I don't feel welcome

In this town

I'm surprised you're even

Listening now"



I said

"I don't blame you one bit"

There have been many times

I've almost quit my life



On the north side of town (north side of town)

To be the ghost

Nobody asks about

Isn't that right Brian?

It's good to move away

When the home you know

Doesn't know your name

Your name



When did it get too hard

To make the best of everything? (make the best of everything)

When all your problems

Live in this town

If it's wrong to say

I wish you would stay (wish you would stay)

Good luck in Boston

I'll see you around

(Yeah!)



I know what's worse than

Being alone

It's when you ask just how

What happened to all my friends?

In September they'll be gone

And I'll start again, again



When did it get too hard

To make the best of everything? (make the best of everything)

When all your problems

Live in this town

If it's wrong to say

I wish you would stay (wish you would stay)

Good luck in Boston

I'll see you around



I heard there's opportunity in Chicago

And I never liked this town

Yeah, all the cool bands are on the East Coast

Why aren't we all there now? (why aren't we all there now)



She broke every heart in Omaha

And my hometown as well (my hometown as well)

She found a million reasons

She should be somewhere else



I never liked the weather here (never liked the weather here)

And I'm too shallow

To appreciate my friends



And see through the exterior

(Never liked the weather here)

And see through the exterior

(Never liked the weather here)

And see through the exterior

(Never liked the weather here)

And see through the exterior
