She couldn't wait to go to college Get away from her mom and dad She couldn't wait to yell, "Go Cowboys" All dressed up in orange and black She couldn't wait to buy a fake from Kansas Spend her money on weed and beer Get fucked up for graduation It's the same shit every year And it must be nice to leave this place Put it in gear and leave it in the past It must be nice to watch it fade You'd know if you ever come back It'll still be kids getting drunk on the strip Acting like local boys don't exist Will still be the same 'cause nobody bothers That's the problem with Stillwater And the next class is already enrolled They show up when the summer ends You know it ain't too bad when she goes Back to Texas with her fake friends 'Cause they made Perkins Road a little wider this year Just to make it easier to get the hell out of here And it must be nice to leave this place Put it in gear and leave it in the past It must be nice to watch it fade You'd know if you ever come back It'll still be kids getting drunk on the strip Acting like local boys don't exist It'll still be the same 'cause nobody bothers That's the problem It's the best four years of her life until they're gone But to me, she wrecked the one place that, well, I call home And it must be nice to leave this place Put it in gear and leave it in the past Must be nice to watch it fade You'd know if you ever come back It'll still be kids getting drunk on the strip Acting like local boys don't exist It'll still be the same 'cause nobody bothers That's the problem It'll still be me getting drunk on the strip Acting like your memory don't exist It'll still be the same, 'cause you never bothered That's the problem with Stillwater With Stillwater
