Because i like the place where the river's brown
   and the season's kind to the weatherman
   and the sunny days won't break a record
   and i wouldn't want to leave this town
   though i didn't need the fever that you bring
  
   so call inside i will make you see
   that better sense is coming by
   though the cast is full i'm ready to fall out
   there's resistance in the roadhouse
   though distance was the reason that you bring
  
   cast off your hand me downs
   cause i've been told
   no you're never gonna get on your feet again
   no your never gonna get on your feet again
  
   i've been i've been
   where your thoughts were holy
   i've seen the common rain
   I've known i've known
   bitterness between you
   but you found hope again
   cast off your hand me downs
   cause you've been told
   no your never gonna get on your feet again
   no your never gonna get on your feet again
