Remain close but stay away
Keep your distance but
Be careful how far you stray
Don't forget where you were born
Don't forget this moment
Don't you understand, sweetheart?
That we love you
But hate the ugly sin that you are
It may be best that you just leave
Get some help
And find some symphathy
Seven years before the drought
You looked around and said,
"This is what prosperity's about"
Pointing fingers 'til they're sore
Wasting time and waging war
And there's something kinda wrong
You're forming arguments
With lines from every old time gospel song
You heard when you were young
You just can't forget
Remain close but stay away
Keep your distance but
Be careful how far you stray
Don't forget where you were born
Don't forget this moment
And the closest thing to God
Is being next to you
In this rusted car
And I'm never going back
And I won't forget this moment
Remain close but stay away
Keep your distance but
Be careful how far you stray
Don't forget where you were born
Don't forget this moment
Don't forget this moment
Don't forget this moment
Don't forget this moment
Don't forget this moment
And the closest thing to God
Is being next to you
In this rusted car
And I'm never going back
And I won't forget this moment
