Nebraska Songtext
von Melissa Ferrick

Yeah, what are you waiting for?
Why don′t you just hurry up and go?
Come on, tear up and sweat for me
And kiss me one more time

Because we knew you were better
Yes, when you were out there on your own
And somewhere inside you
You were always getting up the nerve
Planning out your exit
Taking one deep breath to fake your forgiveness
And then walking out to fight fear
Glorious roar


Yeah, so go then
Just leave myself to me, would you?
'Cause I got where I am girls
By getting back on my feet
′Cause would you look at me, I'm tough as nails
And I can't hold back the wind
′Cause my strength is in my soul, honey
And unlike you, my love, my soul lies
It lives under my skin, under my skin

Yeah, under your nerves, baby
Yes, I have been under your hands, haven′t I?
And I'm sorry to say love
That your body
You′re just ain't for me anymore
′Cause you've got me sick in the throat

Because it knows that I′ve been up here lying
Just trying to save face by smiling
When inside, my heart looks like a disaster?
Like blown out semi tires all over Nebraska
And I am, so far from a sure fire
Bet you could give me a mile head start and I'd still lose the race


Yeah, so go
Leave myself to me, would you?
'Cause I got where I am girls
By getting right back up on my feet
′Cause I am tough as nails
And I can stand up here and sing back the wind
But my strength is in my soul
And unlike you, unlike you my love

My soul, it lies
My soul, it lives
My soul, it lies
Under my skin
Under my skin
Under my skin

What are you waiting for?
Why don′t you just hurry up and go?
Come on, tear up and sweat for me
And kiss me
Somebody, sing to me, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Thank you
