Pennsylvania Songtext
von Brittany Ann Tranbaugh

It was wonderful to live out west
Fun to kid ourselves I guess
Back to the ones who love us best
No longer for to roam
Now it′s white dashes yellow lines
And the radio blaring about divided times
I get misty when I see the sign
That welcomes us back home

Pennsylvania, it was never easy to explain you
Sometimes home's not just an easy chair
Lately home feels like a cross to bear
A cross to bear


At a truck stop out by Ligonier
You said I don′t feel so welcome here
Should we pretend that we're just friends
That old familiar fear
When we pulled into Nazareth
We were long past half past dead
Turned off the radio and said I think he might just win
That fucker's going to win

Pennsylvania, it was never easy to explain you
Sometimes home′s not just an easy chair
Lately home feels like a cross to bear
A cross to bear

You′re barely getting by out there
And I know you'll miss the weather
But that city doesn′t need you
Go back home and make it better
Your folks are getting older
You feel the pulling of the tether
Rent a row home, grow a garden
Get the old band back together

Pennsylvania, it was never easy to explain you
Sometimes home's not just an easy chair
Lately home feels like a cross to bear
Pennsylvania, it was never easy to explain you
Sometimes home′s not just an easy chair
Lately home feels like a cross to bear
A cross to bear
