Lyrics

[Verse] If you leave you won't come home There's no treasure worth the chase The world you know is flat And once you fall off it's face You'll find other worlds to roam But your heart will long for all this space When you come dragging cross the plains I hope I recognize your face Cut up and left out on some island Crushed into a mountain range Smeared across a crowded city Where they mispronounce your name [Chorus] If you leave you won't come home 'Cause you'll be someone else You may walk back through these wheatfields But your heart, will be someplace else Boy the South is not the Flatlands Folks up North are kind of strange I'll be somewhere in an oilfield Calling out your name [Verse] If you leave you won't come home I know you think that you will But you'll get used to the weather The way that some place makes you feel You'll get washed out in some ocean Pick up an accent that ain't mine Fall asleep in some green valley Drunk on some other country's wine If you leave you won't come home
