Lyrics:

6:30 in the morning, I awoke to the sound of leaving
I had hoped for another hour, but I guess I knew I'd better face the day
I dragged my ass in-to the kitchen to get myself the leftover coffee
And, as I drank my punishment, I was reminded I'd better find my way
And that it's been a long while since this place has felt like home
And almost as long since I guess I've known I'd better get on down the road
I don't know how it got here, and I wonder where this thing is going
Sometimes I even wonder, if I go, would they miss me when I'm gone?

Just another broken soul in a place where dreams go to die
Nobody ever seems to leave; sometimes I stop, and I wonder why
Maybe they don't know just how good things could be
Why be chained to yesterdays when your tomorrows - they could be living free?
And what's keeping me here, it ain't worth all the strain
I was never more free, and I'd like to be living on the Plains
I don't know how I'll get there, and I wonder how I'll even get going
But I'll go even though that I know they're gonna miss me when I'm gone

They're gonna miss me when I'm gone / They're gonna miss me when I'm gone
They're gonna miss me when I'm gone
