Nebraska

What are you waiting for?

Why don't you just hurry up and go?

Come on tear up and sweat with me

Kiss me one last time

cuz I knew you were there

yeah out there on your own

somewhere inside you

you're always getting up the nerve

planning your exit

taking one deep breath to claim your forgiveness

to walk out the door to face fear's glorious roar

Fine, so why don't you go baby?

just leave myself to me

cuz I got where I am

by just getting back on my feet

And I am tough as nails

yeah baby I can hold back the wind

and my strength is my soul

unlike you, my soul lies under my skin

Under your nerves

Under your hands

and I'm sorry to say, your body

your body just aint for me anymore

cuz you've got me sick in the throat

cuz it knows I've been standing here lying

trying to save face by smiling

when inside my heart looks like a disaster

like blown-out semi tires all over Nebraska

And I'm so far from a sure-fire bet

byaby you could give me a mile ahead

and I'd still lose the race

Fine, so why don't you go baby?

just leave myself to me

cuz I got where I am

by just getting back on my feet

And I am tough as nails

yeah baby I can hold back the wind

and my strength is my soul

unlike you, my soul lies under my skin

What are you waiting for?

Why don't you just hurry up and go

come on tear up and sweat for me

kiss me one last time

last time

time

time
