Chapel Hill - Goodnight, Texas

I’m going to Chapel Hill, if you’re looking

I snuck out like a thief in the night

I’m riding the backroads through endless oak trees

Going further and further from sight

I am the boy in the schoolhouse

So alone in the lost countryside

And if you should want to come find me there

Oh, it may be a difficult ride

Ooh… it ought to make it easier on you

Ooh… it ought to make it easier on you

People out here aren’t like you

Not that I want them to be

They’re raised drinking water so gentle and clear

And they’ve brought out the sweetheart in me

Yeah, they brought out the sweetheart in me

I’m not like the boy you’d remember

I’m relaxed and I’m satisfied

I’ve come to terms with the object of failure

Setting past heartache aside

Ooh… it ought to make it easier on you

Ooh… it ought to make it easier on you

I’ve gone to Chapel Hill, if they ask you

Tell them I wish they were here

It was not them that I tried to escape from

But I dreamed of a future unclear

And if anyone wishes to chase me

It would probably do them no good

Because the reason I’m here is the same reason that I

Was someone they never understood

Ooh… it ought to make it easier on you

Ooh… it ought to make it easier on you

Ooh…
