He said, "I don't feel welcome in this town   I won't expect you to be listening now."   I said, "I don't blame you one bit."   There have been many times   Ive almost quit my life on the north side of town   To be the ghost nobody talks about   Isn't that right, Brian?   It's good to move away   When the home you know   Doesn't know your name      When did it get too hard   To make the best of everything?   (When all your problems live in this town)   If it's wrong to say   I wish you would stay   Good luck in Boston   I'll see you around      I know whats worse than   being alone   It's when you wonder   what happened to all my friends   By september they'll both be gone   and I'll start again.      I heard there's opportunity in Chicago   And I never liked this town   And all the cool bands are on the East Coast   Why aren't we all there now?   She broke every heart in Omaha   And my hometown as well   She found a million reasons   She should be somewhere else   I never liked the weather here   And I'm too shallow   To appreciate my friends   And see through the exterior   See through the exterior   See through the exterior   See through the exterior
