Nebraska - Melissa Ferrick

Yeah what are you waiting for

Why don’t you just hurry up and go

Come on tear up and sweat for me

And kiss me

One more time

Because we knew you were better

Yes when you were out there on your own

And somewhere inside you

You were always getting up the nerve

Planning out your exit

Taking one deep breath to fake your forgiveness

And then walking out to fight fear

And her glorious roar

Yeah so go then

Just leave myself to me

Cause I got where I am

By getting back on my feet

Look at me I’m tough as nails

And sure I can stand up and sing back the wind

But my strength is in my soul

And unlike you my love

My soul it lives

Under my skin

Under my skin

Under my skin

Under your nerves baby

Hey I’ve been under your hands haven’t I?

And I’m sorry to say

That your body

It just don’t work for me nomore

Cause you’ve got me sick in the throat

Because it knows that I’ve been up here lying

Just trying to save face by smiling

When inside my heart looks like a disaster?

Like blown out semi tires

All over Nebraska

And I am

So far from a sure fire bet

You could give me a mile head start and

I’d still lose the race

Yeah so go then

Just leave myself to me

Cause I got where I am

By getting right back up on my feet

Look at me I’m tough as nails

And sure I can stand up here and sing back the wind

But my strength is in my soul

And unlike you my love

Unlike you

My soul it lives

Under my skin

Under my skin

Under my skin

Yeah so what are you waiting for boy

Why don’t you just hurry up pack up all your stuff and go

Come on tear up and sweat for me

And kiss me one more time

Sing to me

Sing to me

Sing to me
