No one wants to hear his story
  Another boring kid in town again
  Who stares at photographs
  Of far away friends
  Frustrated, he can't think clear
  His aspirations seem sincere but how
  Can he make them all work out
    Homesick hopes and inside jokes
  They're all taking him away
  He can't find a reason why
  A reason to stay
    It's been too long a lull and
  All the self pity is getting dull today
  He can't find another way
  Sitting down with his final mistake
  Thinking of another fake smile tonight
  He's waiting for someone to save his life
    He got a letter today
  Steve moved to Knoxville
  Another reason to stay
