I Tried My Best Lyrics

I can't wait

To see I-75 in my rearview mirror

Even if that sounds harsh

A sign from the universe has never been clearer

I been counting down days since March

Fresh Texas eyes loved this town

Seven years later I'm done and out

I'm not proud of my hometown

Just about everyone here's broke my heart

Boys to best friends, even grown men

And I love my parents but I need a fresh start

I wanna run so far away

I'm tired of people knowing my name

Everyone in this town thinks the same

Politics and college,

"How will you live on lyrics?"

And I won't miss a single one of you

I never had real friends, spent high school in my bedroom

I love my independence

Got so comfortable with rejection

Wasn't born for the midwest

At least I can say I tried my best

There's no where to go but south

Rock bottom's up north

I been low far too long

So I'm leaving on my high horse

And I'm coming to terms

I've lived and learned

And saved every penny that I've earned

It won't be all for nothing

Got a broke down Jeep and a little bit of money

And some real big dreams, but hey that's something

I swear that press is gonna be buzzing

Don't know how but I'm jump then falling

I swear it won't be all for nothing

I wanna run so far away

I'm tired of people knowing my name

Everyone in this town thinks the same

Politics and college,

"How will you live on lyrics?"

And I won't miss a single one of you

I never had real friends, spent high school in my bedroom

I love my independence

Got so comfortable with rejection

Wasn't born for the midwest

At least I can say I tried my best

You can't heal in the place you lost yourself

Been growing sideways

Tennessee's talking, it misses me

Doing it my way

I'll send a postcard, truck's packed up in the driveway

I'm hitting the highway

And I'm gonna run so far away

I'm tired of people knowing my name

Everyone in this town thinks the same

Politics and college,

"You'll never live on lyrics"

And I won't miss a single one of you

And please don't pretend that you'll miss me too

I love my independence

Got so comfortable with rejection

Breaking up with the midwest

At least I'm leaving saying I tried my best
