You Must Not Be From Around Here

So what did I say to make you stay?
These last four hours seem like a day
With any luck, by nine, I'll be crossing the state line
And when I call you, you ask what I'm going to do
As if you don't know me like I know you
I guess that this is why I get all the good stories

It's all I know
I can't move slow
And when the sun comes up and I walk on down the street
I feel the pavement on my feet
I look around and think I wouldn't have it any other way

I've killed myself just trying to help
And find the things that we've misplaced
I've had my doubts
I've been around long enough to see myself replaced
I came home feeling different, no surprise
I've learned to see through different eyes
I've gotten good at always doing what they told me I can't do
And this city comes alive at night
The changing leaves and longest drives
Changing times and how it never seems boring

It's all I know
I can't move slow
And when the sun comes up and I walk on down the street
I feel the pavement on my feet
I look around and think I wouldn't have it any other way
It's hard to see it any other way
I wouldn't have it any other
