Big Trouble In Little Gainesville

It’s getting harder to sleep
When it’s 85 degrees in the middle of the winter
I’m stuck inside this box, dead-end job
Am I happy here?
It’s getting harder to live
In a college town when you’re getting older
Every time that I go out people turn 21.
Man, I’ve walked down Main Street
So many times that I should earn frequent flyer miles
The middle of the night, you won’t believe the things I’ve seen
What is it about this city
That keeps me paying rent?
And I go on and on and on and on
And my money’s all been spent
My friends have all moved on
I’m sitting on my thrift store couch
Writing the same songs
Something’s gotta give!
There’s big trouble in little Gainesville
And I still wanna stay
There’s big trouble in little Gainesville
And I still wanna stay
'Cause there’s a magnet pulling me
'Cause there’s a magnet pulling me
'Cause there’s a magnet pulling me
I know I’ve had my doubts
But when I look up in the sky,
All I wanna do is smile;
There’s something 'bout the sun here that’s hard to describe.
There’s big trouble in little Gainesville
And I still wanna stay
There’s big trouble in little Gainesville
And I still wanna stay
There’s big trouble in little Gainesville
And I still wanna stay
'Cause there’s a magnet pulling me
'Cause there’s a magnet pulling me
'Cause there’s a magnet pulling me
It’s getting harder to sleep
When it’s 85 degrees in the middle of the winter
I’m stuck inside this box, dead-end job
Am I happy here?
