They say the world is getting smaller every day
It's funny but I haven't noticed it to be the case
Because to me you're getting farther away
Now that you can go all over the place
CHORUS:
I don't mind, no I don't mind
I know there's nothing here for you
I wish you'd stay but I'll be fine
Besides I never did expect you to
Besides I never did expect you to
What is there here besides a town full of friends
And people who'd like to see you around?
All good things it seems must come to an end
We all know you're upward bound
Get out, be gone, get on the road
You've got a very busy day
Unlike us normal folk who sleep our lives away
Unlike us normal folk who dream our lives away
CHORUS
Oh how quickly things can change
Hope you're happy in that Portland rain
If things don't go how you had planned
I'll see you back where you began
I'll see you back where you began
I'll be back where you began
I'll be back where you began
CHORUS
Lord I really really hope you do
I hope you do
But I don't expect you to
Expect you to
