lyrics

Here’s a little story that you might have heard before
Last night my sweetheart said she didn’t love me anymore
She’s tired of second fiddle, always being strung along
She said Don’t you quote me in another mediocre song

She said,
You think you’re a star
But you’re dreaming
I think you’re a drunk
Who plays guitar
In a bar
singing songs songs no one believes in
Welcome home
I’m leaving

She said,
You can take the TV, I won’t need it anymore
I’m tired of waiting up To hear you stumble through the door
You can take the old recliner The one I never use
I think you’re gonna need it, when you’re sleeping off the booze

Chorus

I’d Like to say I didn’t see it coming
But Everything I played for her
was always out of tune
Maybe I’m a little broken
the drink and music keep me going
If I was her I would leave me too

Chorus
Welcome home, I’m leaving
