Well, I stuck around the city for as long as I could do But I haven't seen a smile In quite a while And I sang at every bar in the same old pair of shoes 'Cause where I'm from They never go out of style Well, four short years was all it took to Take the thrill away And when the man from the office corners me He's begging me to stay But if I take that walk, I'll lose my mind I'll bury every day For reasons that I can't explain They tried to tell me It gets еasier The longer you stay Thеy ask what compels me 'Cause we got everything You just have to pay No, you just have to wait Well, I stuck around town for a little bit too long And now everybody's gone And moved away So I took a little break and went searching for a song And I found in my mind was such a pleasant place to play They say one good year is all it takes to really make the grade And if I work real hard and pay my dues Then I might just catch a break But if my head's too big for the hat I wear They'll take it all away For reasons that I can't explain They tried to tell me It gets easier The longer you stay They ask what compels me 'Cause we got everything You just have to pay No, you just have to wait They tried to tell me It gets easier The longer you stay The longer you stay
