[Verse]
Tryna be young but it's all bad news
Y'all gonna do what y'all gon' do
I guess I'm not you
But at least I'm not him
Do it for the brother I lost to his girl
He was born with the gift
He could give it a whirl
But he wanted to leave it behind
And work on the farm with the pigs and the swine
He was gone before he had a chance to live
Now he's locked up
House in the sticks
Fenced in like an animal
All for some girl with the genitals

[Chorus]
I've been goin' on too long
I should be moving on
This one is 1-star
I'm about to give it all up
I've been goin' on too long
I should be moving on
This one is 1-star
I'm about to give it all up

[Verse 2]
Now she's married to some other guy
Got him for his money
He's afraid to die
And it's not the life that he thought he was in for
But it's the life he chose
And he should be grateful
And the cows still moo
And the roosters still crow
And the bugs are bad
And it still gets cold
And the rain pours down
And the firewood is wet
And he ain't gone yet
And it's all for the best
That's what I keep tellin' myself
So that I can be me
And not someone else
And not do the things I don't wanna do
And it's all for the best
That's what I keep tellin' myself

[Chorus]
I've been goin' on too long
I should be moving on
This one is 1-star
I'm about to give it all up
I've been goin' on too long
I should be moving on
This one is 1-star
I'm about to give it all up
