We wiped out all the Buffalo
Fm
Around the turn of the last century,
F#
And so it's factories and sawgrass,
Ab
Wheat fields and asphalt laid in front of me.
C#
The Midwest feels like a hollow place
Fm
That we filled with love and industry.
F#
And we're staring at the frozen ground in Goodwill suits,
Ab
Silent as the pastor reads the eulogy.

Well I wanted to see just a little bit of everything.
Let me be.

Two blackbirds on a highway sign
Fm Fm7
Are laughing at me at four in the morning.

They played the war drum out of time

So I'm not sure where I've been marching.
C# Ab
I wanna be strong,
Bbm F#
But it's not easy anymore.

It's sixteen hours straight to home
Fm
From the heart of North Missouri,
F#
And so I searched through my great-grandpop's memoirs
Ab
For the devil in my bloodstream.
C#
Depression grabbed his throat
Fm
And choked the life out of him slowly.
F#
I've got the same blood coursing through my veins
Ab
And it'll come for me eventually.
C#
I bet I'd be a fucking coward.
Fm
I bet I'd never have the guts for war,

'Cause I can't spend another month away from here.

These frantic rest stop phone calls don't get answered anymore.

But I, I wanted to know if I could please come home.
So let me know.
