[Verse 1]
I keep on talking with my stupid mouth
It’s like I got something to say
I keep on singing 'bout my city life
Yeah, but I try to live that way
And so I run to my home
Yeah, I book my flight down south
It’s better there than alone where only I can shut me out

[Chorus]
I tried baby, I tried
To dig what we did at night
But the feelings were too young and close for comfort
And you thought I was the one, but I was only having fun
Ten days was five too long for southern comfort

[Verse 2]
Trying to stop but I just don’t know how
No, my feet weren’t built that way
So many places I don’t know about
Yeah, so why’d it end up this way?
And so I run to my home, at least my bed is my own tonight
I probably should be alone, yeah at least just for tonight

[Chorus]
I tried baby, I tried
To dig what we did at night
But the feelings were too young and close for comfort
And you thought I was the one, but I was only having fun
Ten days was five too long for southern comfort
I tried baby, I tried
To dig what we did at night
But the feelings were too young and close for comfort
And you thought I was the one, oh but I was only having fun
Ten days was five too long for southern comfort
