lyrics

I’m gonna take this road
Down to New Orleans
Gonna change my life
Gonna find my dreams
Well, I got to Dubuque
And I fell right on down
To my knees

Life’s much harder
Than it is in your mind
When your thoughts are all rosy
And everything’s fine
Reality, it gets you every time

I thought I knew
Thought I could tell
Turns out I just know how
To make a fool of myself
Am I in place?
Am I in hell?

Well, I’ll take my time
And I’ll do it right
But I’ll waste away
Stuck in feelin’ fine
I’ll never get the chance
Then I’ll die

I won’t let my fears imprison me
I won’t let my nervous heart
Be my demise
I’m gonna be what I wanna be
And you can be whatever you’d like
I’m gonna be who I wanna be
And you can be whoever you’d like
