Lyrics
Verse 1
Billy Ray don?t beg me to stay
Don?t notice that I?ve gone away
So I call him up from the road
?in case you didn?t know it, baby, I?m not comin? home.?
Long pause, loud laugh
?leave all you want cuz you always come back?
I swear it?s gonna be different this time
Like I?ve sprouted wings and a spine
Chorus
I say that I?m getting out of Dodge
I only get as far as this Econo Lodge
I?m sittin? here, watching cable
Say I?m movin? on but I?m just not able
I put my stuff in a storage unit
Cuz I say I?m movin? out but I just can?t do it
I don?t know what?s wrong me
I keep choosing chains ?stead of breaking free
Verse 2
Picture a cheap motel--I?m at it
Good Lord, what a stupid habit
Put up my dukes -- back down
Stomp away and then slink back into town
Destiny calls me out on my own
Fear always drags me right back home
To trade in the dream of being free
For a life that sucks the life right out of me
Chorus
say that I?m getting out of Dodge
I only get as far as this Econo Lodge
I?m sittin? here, watching cable
Say I?m movin? on but I?m just not able
I put my stuff in a storage unit
Cuz I say I?m movin? out but I just can?t do it
I don?t know what?s wrong me
I keep choosing chains ?stead of breaking free
Bridge
Some day I?ll drive out pass the bypass
Some day I?ll drive on past the bridge
Someday I won?t have to ask myself
?What would happen if I did??
Chorus
say that I?m getting out of Dodge
I only get as far as this Econo Lodge
I?m sittin? here, watching cable
Say I?m movin? on but I?m just not able
I put my stuff in a storage unit
Cuz I say I?m movin? out but I just can?t do it
I don?t know what?s wrong me
I keep choosing chains ?stead of breaking free
