So let it hit like it's supposed to, babe Ya know the evenin' is a hell of a drug Treat the rhythm like a secret, babe I'ma try my best to try to cover it up It sounds like "Turn out the lights, sit back and float downstream" Takes you 'til twenty-two to understand what that even begins to mean And now you know Singin' "I'm not goin' home" I'm feelin' it like I'm the only one No, singin' "I'm not goin' home" I wanna hear a little horse play a little trombone Out of the suburbs with a strange ambition To warp the definition of feelin' alive Feelin' like an amateur at a track meet Top speed barely enough to fall behind I consider this a game of distance And if that's the case, it's a matter of time I'ma keep hummin' in search of a megaphone Sharpenin' these edges of these dreams of mine And I'ma sing "I'm not going home" I'm feelin' it like I'm the only one And oh, I'm not goin' home Somebody please
