Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Tried to take control oh
I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Oh we shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same oh
I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Raised in Carolina
I'm not like that
Trying to remind her
When we go back
I missed the last bus
I'll take the next train
I try but you see
It's hard to explain
I say the right things
But act the wrong way
I like it right here
But I cannot stay
I watch the TV
Forget what I'm told
Well I am too young
And they are too old
The joke is on you
This place is a zoo
You're right it's true
He says he can't decide
I shake my head to say
Everything's just great
Oh I just can't remember
I just can't remember
Raised in Carolina
I'm not like that
Trying to remind her
When we go back
I say the right things
But act the wrong way
I like it right here
But I cannot stay
I watch the TV
Forget what I'm told
Well I am too young
And they are too old
Oh man can't you see
I'm nervous so please
Pretend to be nice
So I can be mean
I missed the last bus
We take the next train
I try but you see
It's hard to explain
