about

She's living her best life.

lyrics

Let me guess
You’re at the bar with your boys
Taking shots and making noise
Just to get the girl to notice

Let me guess
You’ll take her home in your new truck
Try your hand and push your luck
On a love already hopeless

That day you told me
That I’d know where to find you
If I’m ever lonely
But here’s the truth

I’ve been making friends in Dublin
In a castle by a stream
I put my roots down in Yokosuka
Where I learned some Japanese
And I’d been living life in Lagos
And soaking up the sun in St. Croix
I will gladly take the rest of the world
You can have your small town, boy

Let me guess
You’re underneath neon lights
And she’s holding you too tight
Like your hand around that bottle

Let me guess
You’re on the porch in your Levi jeans
On the day she ups and leaves you
And the dog in her Silverado

That day you told me
That I’d know where to find you
If I’m ever lonely
But here’s the truth

I’ve been making friends in Dublin
In a castle by a stream
I put my roots down in Yokosuka
Where I learned some Japanese
And I’d been living life in Lagos
And soaking up the sun in St. Croix
I will gladly take the rest of the world
You can have your small town, boy

And I bet you’re at your mom’s house
To deny how much you blew it
She’s telling you how good you had it
And it’s a shame you never knew it
And then you’ll go to church on Sunday
Ugly crying to the Savior
While I’ll be finding God
In the hearts of my global neighbors




I’ll be making friends in Dublin
In a castle by a stream
I’ll put my roots down in Yokosuka
Where I’ll learn some Japanese
I’ll be living life in Lagos
And soaking up the sun in St. Croix

I’ll be chatting in a cafe in Cambodia
Shopping sprees in South Korea
Where I’ll fall in love
With a man who understands me
Comforts me and brings me joy
I’ll gladly take the rest of the world
You can have your small town, boy

Let me guess
You’ve been staring at your phone
Contemplating how to reach me
Cause that number doesn’t work anymore
