lyrics

On a clear I can almost see exactly where I left you standing alone
At the bus stop with your hands in your pockets
A smirk on your
Sunglasses in your hair
Can someone just tell me at least
How a Southwest boy ends up in the Northeast?

Are you safe or do you feel lonely
Do the same little things still make you happy
Have you found someone to cheer you up when you're sad
Someone to tell you that things aren't so bad
Do you still skip through the fields?
Are you still chasing your dreams?

You never write and I never call
I don't miss you, I'm just curious is all.
Can someone just tell me at least
How a Southwest boy ends up in the Northeast?
