Nebraska

Lyrics

Yeah, what are you waiting for?
 Why don't you just hurry up and go?
 Come on, tear up and sweat for me
 And kiss me one more time
 Because we knew you were better
 Yes, when you were out there on your own
 And somewhere inside you
 You were always getting up the nerve
 Planning out your exit
 Taking one deep breath to fake your forgiveness
 And then walking out to fight fear
 Glorious roar
 Yeah, so go then
 Just leave myself to me, would you?
 'Cause I got where I am girls
 By getting back on my feet
 'Cause would you look at me, I'm tough as nails
 And I can't hold back the wind
 'Cause my strength is in my soul, honey
 And unlike you, my love, my soul lies
 It lives under my skin, under my skin
 Yeah, under your nerves, baby
 Yes, I have been under your hands, haven't I?
 And I'm sorry to say love
 That your body
 You're just ain't for me anymore
 'Cause you've got me sick in the throat
 Because it knows that I've been up here lying
 Just trying to save face by smiling
 When inside, my heart looks like a disaster?
 Like blown out semi tires all over Nebraska
 And I am, so far from a sure fire
 Bet you could give me a mile head start and I'd still lose the race
 Yeah, so go
 Leave myself to me, would you?
 'Cause I got where I am girls
 By getting right back up on my feet
 'Cause I am tough as nails
 And I can stand up here and sing back the wind
 But my strength is in my soul
 And unlike you, unlike you my love
 My soul, it lies
 My soul, it lives
 My soul, it lies
 Under my skin
 Under my skin
 Under my skin
 What are you waiting for?
 Why don't you just hurry up and go?
 Come on, tear up and sweat for me
 And kiss me
 Somebody, sing to me, yeah
 Yeah, yeah
 Yeah, yeah
