my life is simple i got ample room to spare
forget hawaii honeymoon in delaware
the brightest sign in town is the holiday inn
top forty radio is the only way to win
i'm from nebraska what's nebraska anyway
i hate to ask ya
but baby can we get away

cause we are ten steps from morning we got ten miles left to go
it's seem like life keeps on moving but my feet can't find the road
can't take one more night
of this old life
i got to let it go

i would go dancing but the dance hall closed at ten
i would go swimming but who knows where that water's been
more space than people but i got no room to breathe
buckle up your bible belt and get on your knees
land of my birth not the land of my death
bury me on the prairie but i ain't dead yet

one more night of this old life
always a fight, the dimming light
a little trite, i'm losing sight
my shirt is tight, a dingy white
i'm still in spite, say what you might
i got to let it go
