lyrics

Lately, I've been feeling like a failure to my friends and everyone, around. Lately, I've been acting so immature and my crying only brings you down. Lately, I've been thinking 'bout Kentucky, swept away by Louisville's big skies. Lately, I can't recognize you all. You're all grown up and, tell me, where am I? Pour out of the radio and slap me on the wrist. The world sounds like poetry, the world I have missed. All my proudest moments have been written on a plaque. The world sounds like poetry, but I'm too old to go back. Shake up the magnolia; break a branch; I tumble down. Shake up the magnolia; break a branch; I tumble down. Shake up the magnolia; break a branch; I tumble down. Shake up the magnolia; break a branch. Pour out of the radio and slap me on the wrist. The world sounds like poetry, the world I have missed. All my proudest moments have been written on a plaque. The world sounds like poetry, but I'm too old to go back. The world sounds like poetry, but I'm too old to go back. The world sounds like poetry, but I'm too old to go back.
