Just an Excuse

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Why do you feel you'd be happy somewhere else? Why do you feel you're missing out all the time? Oh, if it hadn't been for your wife and children You say you'd be off [Refrain] Or is it just an excuse? Or is it just an excuse not to stay here? [Verse 2] You're gonna leave, I don't believe it You say you don't need me no more, I bet you're afraid to go You say I tie you down, you've had enough of this town And our fair-weather friends [Refrain] Or is that just an excuse? Or is that just an excuse not to stay here? [Interlude] You should reconsider If the grass is greener, my dear I left the door open But you prefer to stay here, holding me near You prefer to stay here, holding me near [Verse 3] Why do you feel I'm competing with you? You know it's not fair because it isn't true If you must find yourself not in material wealth I think you've found it [Refrain] Oh, but it's just an excuse Yes, it's just an excuse Yes, it's just an excuse not to stay here
