lyrics

Aiming slow and steady trying to kill these hours of mine
Maybe I could fall in love, I’d do it right
Cause even in a lonely town a man needs on his sleeve
A way to put some distance from the hell he cannot leave
Says she’s going home
Oh yeah she’s going home

Trying hard to find a way, a reason or a name
Where to point my drink, who to blame
There used to be a time and place beyond this broken fence
Now I stay up late thinking ‘bout the life I could have led
Says she’s going home
Oh yeah she’s going home

Getting good and ready guess I’ll have another round
TVs on, the rain is coming down
Packing up her car when I pull up to her street
No one loved this girl as much as me
Says she’s going home
Oh yeah she’s going home

Aiming slow and steady breathing in and breathing out
You had your chance, you had your luck and now
Lack of will and bitter pills they help to ease the pain
I won’t have to see that face though I know I’ll hear her name
Says she’s going home
Oh yeah she’s going home

Trying to take it easy but my hands are shaking now
All these questions make it hard to settle down
There’s not a written record or a trace of what I’ve done
You can speak your speculation but you can’t prove that I’m the one
Oh she’s gone home
Oh yeah she’s gone home
