its been too long since i’ve been home
life has probably moved on
who are my friends
whats the IRS

i dont belong here and i dont know anything about there
the core of my stability has vanished into thin air
i think i’d hate it if i went home
i think i’d hate it if i never went home

wouldn’t it be great if you came home with me
and we could laugh about the things i used to laugh about silently
avoid the bad things about the place i grew up
by moving here to raise our tribe of pups

we wouldn’t have to worry about paying for healhcare 
if things got bad the NHS is always there to care
but we could live in the desert together
and i’d feel whole again

it’s more than just my family
i miss being accosted by aggressive people on the streets in big cities
and the smell of rotisserie chicken
in sams club

i miss long car rides and those big green signs
and seeing people that i love at random times
and people coming to pray with me
when i’m alone and would prefer to continue to be

we could drive eight hours to some random location
stop to see dinosaur poop fossils at some run down gas station
buy our t shirts from the car wash
that sells americana gear near where i grew up

and i could get mad at america again
for being overbearing and religious and excessive 
i’d probably put on some weight
which is something that i’d hate

but thats better than being so far away
that i’ve forgotten all the bad things and am stuck in an eternal daze
where i miss america
the dumb land i grew up

miss america
