Hate It Here - Wilcox

I try to stay busy

I do the dishes I mow the lawn

I try to keep myself occupied

Even though I know

You're not coming home

I try to keep the house nice and neat

I make my bed I change the sheets

I even learned how to use

The washing machine

But keeping things clean

Doesn't change anything

What am I gonna do

When I run out of shirts to fold

What am I gonna do

When I run out of lawn to mow

What am I gonna do

If you never come home

Tell me

What am I gonna do

I hate it

I hate it here

When you're gone

I caught myself thinking

I caught myself

Thinking once again

Have to try to keep my mind

Out of this

Try not to pretend

I'll check the phone

I'll check the mail

I'll check the phone again

And I'll call your mom

She says you're not there

And I should take care

I hate it here

When you're gone

I hate it

I hate it here

When you're gone

I try to stay busy

I take out the trash

I sweep the floor

Try to keep myself

Occupied

'Cause I know

You don't live here

Anymore
