[Verse 1]

Further, the distance it'll be inconsistent

Expect nothing less of me

'Cause this ain't the hardest part of what we've started

But I believe what is meant to be will be

Yes, I believe what is meant to be will be

The all or nothing, goes and guts me

Reminds me that it ain't all black or white

But it's still worth my lovin'

Leaves me longing for somethin', and that somethin' ain't with me tonight

No, that somethin' ain't with me tonight

[Chorus]

I'm just a rock star in a hard place

But I lеft you some room in my suitcase, baby

I'm gettin' gas, and I'm gonе by dawn

Said you ain't ready to come along

You wouldn't know it by all my grievin'

I'm the one who was doing the leavin'

[Verse 2]

I'd be back by the mornin' if I could afford it

But I'm stranded on the other side

It's nothin' but mountains

I guess I'm surrounded by choices that I thought were right

It's all an illusion, this thing that I'm doing

To admit I get lonely's a shame

It's breakfast for dinner

All-American winner

Check that jukebox right there

That's my name

[Chorus]

I'm just a rock star in a hard place

But I left you some room in my suitcase, baby

I'm gettin' gas, and I'm gone by dawn

Said you ain't ready to come along

You wouldn't know it by all my grievin'

You wouldn't know it by all my grievin'

You wouldn't know it by all my grievin'

I'm the one who was doing the leavin'
