On my way from the west to the east I was hoping I would finally find peace From the strains and the heartache in my shaky hands That seemed to follow me around back then, yeah But shortly after I realized That I was carrying the same old fights It's in your nervous smiles when your anxiety Is taking over your identity Now come on Tell me where I belong And now take me Back to J. R. Cupper St. Where Maria would take everybody in her arms And play country songs on her old guitar Now take me Back to the way we used to be Back when John was in love but Maria was not And we learned what it's like to kill the flame in your heart On the train from the east to the west I was hoping I would finally get rest From the psychics and the lovers and the grocery store booze I was young I was drunk I had nothing to lose So I tried to kill my thoughts in the dead of the night Cause I was suffering my whole damn life I wanted friends that would finally give a damn about me I was lost I was scared I could barely breathe Now come on Tell me where I belong And now take me Back to J. R. Cupper St Where Maria would take everybody in her arms And play country songs on her old guitar Now take me Back to the way we used to be Back when John was in love but Maria was not And we learned what it's like to kill the flame in your heart Oh now come on Tell me where I belong And now take me Back to J. R. Cupper St Where Maria would take everybody in her arms And play country songs on her old guitar Now take me Back to the way we used to be Back when John was in love but Maria was not And he crossed one of the lines that a man shouldn't cross He crossed one of the lines that a man shouldn't cross He crossed one of the lines that a man should not cross
