I don't wanna be in Findlay cuz it goes to bed at nine
I don't wanna be in Bowling Green cuz it's plastered all the time
I don't wanna be in Lima cuz there's nothing there to do
I just wanna spend some time with you
I don't wanna be in Cincy cuz it smells like burning tires
I don't wanna be in in Cleveland cuz the lake'll catch on fire
I don't wanna be in Dayton, not without a .22
I just wanna spend some time with you
Well it's so damn hard to find a reason
To stay in this infuriating place
But it's harder still, to find a reason to leave
I don't wanna be in New York cuz it's buried under grime
I don't wanna be in Portland where it's raining all the time
I don't wanna be in San Francisco in the early morning dew
I just wanna spend some time with you
I don't wanna be in London cuz the skies are always gray
I don't wanna be in Paris cuz I don't parlez no francais
I don't wanna be in China with a horrifying flu
I just wanna spend some time with you
It's a rainy Sunday morning in Van Buren
The pious folks all scurry into church
We watch them trudge through the mud and sludge
I guess this place could be a whole lot worse
They say the grass is always greener
On the other side of the county line
But I'll just stay, brown grass is pretty anyway
Cuz I just wanna spend some time with you
