Just An Excuse

Why do you feel you'd be happy somewhere else Why do you feel you're missing out all the time Oh, if it hadn't been for your wife and children You say you'd be off Or is just an excuse Or is just an excuse not to stay here You're gonna leave, I don't believe it You say you don't need me no more I bet you're afraid to go You say I tie you down, you've had enough of this town And our fairweather friends Or is just an excuse Or is just an excuse not to stay here You should reconsider if the grass is greener my dear I left the door open But you prefer to stay here, holding me near You prefer to stay here, holding me near Why do you feel I'm competing with you It's not fair because it's not true If you must find yourself, not in material wealth I think you've found it Oh, but it's just an excuse Yes, it's just an excuse Yes, it's just an excuse not to stay here
