lyrics
I rolled back in on I-35, past the taquería sign Same cracked lot, same faded paint, but your name was off the line The porch had a new blue chair where my spot used to be Your mama waved from the screen door like she barely knew me I stood by the mailbox, keys cold in my hand Saw fresh nails in the trim, like the house had made new plans The dog didn’t run to me, just circled, then moved on That’s when it hit me hard — I was gone before I was gone You don't need me You don't need me You don't need me You don't need me So I won't stay At the H-E-B on Main, I grabbed bread and a can of tea Cashier said, “You back for good?” I said, “Not really, baby” Your truck wasn’t in the drive, just a tarp and a busted jack Even the screen door shut softer when I turned my back The kitchen table’s smaller now, or maybe I just grew apart Your little brother laughed upstairs, and nobody said my name at all I touched the sink, the chipped white rim, the dent by the drain Left my change on the counter and walked out into the rain You don't need me You don't need me You don't need me You don't need me So I won't stay I kept my receipt from the gas station by the river bend Three dollars in loose coins and a note I never sent If a place moves on this fast, I can learn to do the same I came back with both hands open, and nobody called my name You don't need me You don't need me You don't need me You don't need me So I won't stay
