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
