Same Thing

This town's a prison in the great wide open
There's a different set of bars that I'm behind
But you spread your wings and flew on up to Boston
Honey, you got out so tell me why can't I

I want to believe a man can change
But I'm doing the same thing
The same place every night
With the same folks under the same neon lights
Drinking the same drinks
Feeling the same pain
Doing the same thing, yeah

It's been three years since that goodbye October
Ain't it funny how fast time can fly
Well, you grew up, me I just got older, mm
Wasted years and blurry Friday nights
I want to believe a man can change

I'm doing the same thing
The same place every night
With the same folks under the same neon lights
Drinking the same drinks
Feeling the same pain
Doing the same thing, yeah

(Yeah)

If I could only pack my things and hit the road
It don't even matter where I go
The same old buzz started wearing off
Yeah, maybe I'd give you a call
Heard Boston's beautiful in the fall
I get out of here if I could only stop
Doing the same thing

I'm doing the same thing
Same place every night
With the same folks
Under the same neon lights
Drinking the same drinks
Feeling the same pain
Doing the same thing
