I've got a plan
That you are not in
It starts in my heart
And ends in my hands
Maybe I'll shuck
This spate of bad luck
And leave this old town
Behind in the dust
Never had thought
That I might get caught
In sleepy towns
Beside the flat rocks
But from this sad height
I see it tonight
And I know I'm not coming back
Fort worthless, I see your jagged lights
Your darkened hills
From the stillness of a late, late night
But you and I run
In parallel lines
Fort worthless, I'm not coming home tonight
Time, it goes
Unbelievably slow
Do I just want you back?
When will you come home?
If morning breaks
And I'm still awake
I'll know I'm not coming back.
Fort worthless, I see your jagged lights
Your darkened hills
From the stillness of a plane in flight
But you and I run
In parallel lines
Fort worthless, I'm not coming home tonight
Fort worthless, I'm not coming home
