Something's wrong with me, we all know it's true
I'm not perfect like my mom, my dad, my brother and you
Got married while I got tired of our town
You grew roots while I ran my boat aground
And I won't go back to where we both came from
No, no, it's not my home, it's not my home
Everybody said that you'd be somebody someday
But who are you now? Who are you? Now
That I'm getting older, I feel it too
But you act like you've got something to prove
And I won't go back to where we both came from
No, no, it's not my home, it's not my home
When I moved out of Crackertown
Everybody looked down on me
Told me that I shouldn't leave
That I belong here with my own kind
Here with my own kind
But what is my kind?
And I won't go back to where we both came from
No, no, it's not my home, it's not my home
