lyrics

Texas just depresses me
I wish you were still here
I wonder if I can make it out here on my own
For another year

It seems like the nicest people are always
The ones who let you down
Leaves me longing for another state
I’m moving to a different town

I’m got some friends to comfort me
I’ve found someone to love
I guess I really have no complaints
At least none that I speak of

It seems like the nicest people are always
The ones who let you down
Leaves me longing for another state
I’m moving to a different town

But I’m not filled with bitterness
I don’t live with regrets
It just seems as if something's wrong when
The only things you miss are sunsets

It seems like the nicest people are always
The ones who let you down
Leaves me longing for another state
I’m moving to a different town

Does it mean that God has forsaken a place
When the only beauty is man-made
It’s not that I don’t want to see your face
It just gets me thinking:

It seems like the nicest people are always
The ones who let you down
Leaves me longing for another state
I’m moving to a different town
