Nebraska lyrics

What are you waiting for?
Why don't you just hurry up and go?
Come on tear up and sweat with me
Kiss me one last time
'Cuz I knew you were there
Yeah out there on your own
Somewhere inside you
You're always getting up the nerve
Planning your exit
Taking one deep breath to claim your forgiveness
To walk out the door to face fear's glorious roar

Chorus:
Fine, so why don't you go baby?
Just leave myself to me
'Cuz I got where I am
By just getting back on my feet
And I am tough as nails
Yeah baby I can hold back the wind
And my strength is my soul
Unlike you, my soul lies under my skin

Under your nerves
Under your hands
And I'm sorry to say, your body
Your body just aint for me anymore
'Cuz you've got me sick in the throat
'Cuz it knows I've been standing here lying
Trying to save face by smiling
When inside my heart looks like a disaster
Like blown-out semi tires all over Nebraska
And I'm so far from a sure-fire bet
Baby you could give me a mile ahead
And I'd still lose the race

Chorus

What are you waiting for?
Why don't you just hurry up and go
Come on tear up and sweat for me
Kiss me one last time
Last time
Time
Time
