lyrics

I guess you had to go
Way down to New Orleans
To find out if the Southern girl
Survived Los Angeles
It’s not enough for us
To play tag on the phone
Pack your things, get on the plane
and get your ass back home

Please come back to us,
Your circle of friends
Who know where you came from
And know where you’ve been
We want to be around you
Below and above you
‘cause we are the people who love you

We will never know
What we were missing
You can tell us stories
But it won’t be quite the same
Like the one about
The crack heads in the jail
The prostitute who danced away a night of living hell

Please come back to us,
Your circle of friends
Who know where you came from
And know where you’ve been
We want to be around you
Below and above you
‘cause we are the people who love you

Surrounded by your circle of friends (x3)

Working on the boat
With faux dignitaries
Will keep you afloat
But sink your comedy
If you wait too long
You’ll never leave again
And leave us all to wonder
How good it could have been

Please come back to us,
Your circle of friends
Who know where you came from
And know where you have been
We want to be around you
Below and above you
‘cause we are the people who love you
