High school gymnasium's ready
Full of flowers and old legionnaires
Nobody showed up to protest,
just sniffle and stare
There's red, white, and blue in the rafters
There's silent old men from the Corps

Won't you take me back, North Carolina?
Won't you take me back, Arkansas?
Blissful days still there to remember,
methamphetamine was the final straw.

The look on your face yanks my neck on the chain
And I would do anything
To see you again

The Statue of Liberty is breathing in the air.
Atlantis is waiting down below.

All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come

Today's the fourth of July
Another June has gone by
And when they light up our town I just think
What a waste of gunpowder and sky

Don't roll away that stone, girl
Leave it where it lay
You say he's coming home but you know it's not today
I think the road will break me and never fill the holes
But every time I'm saved I stop beating out a soul

The last thing I heard I was left for dead
I could give two shits about what they said
I may be limping but I'm coming home
All work and no play might'a done me in
But I'm stoked I'm back after where I've been
I may be limping but I'm coming home

We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die.

Oh, the hours I’ve spent inside the Coliseum
Dodging lions and wastin’ time
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see ’em
Yes, it sure has been a long, hard climb

Train wheels runnin’ through the back of my memory
When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece

When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
Cause if I make you happy I don't need to do more

And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful when something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach
