I was living here one time
sitting in a circle
all the other kids were nice to sit and play
I was passing telephone
calling operator
won't you tell me what am I supposed to say

gimme one reason
I should stick up for you
turn your back on me
I could sit with you forever, never
quite be rid of me
I could be birthed and buried here
many years of peace
wishing for somebody to be here in you with me

I was living here that time
surely you remember
seemed you saw me spinning closer than before
memorizing my address
your name under mine there
ever since I came around, not any more

used to live this town up
you know I did
shed to barn to roof
some believers in the simple life
are never met with proof
but I wonder
town, you know I do
why you couldn't see
I was wishing for somebody to be here in you with me

used to live this town up
but not anymore
