i m going to chapel hill if you re looking i snuck out like a thief in the night i m riding the backroads through endless oak trees going further and further from sight i am the boy in the schoolhouse so alone in the lost countryside and if you should want to come find me there oh it may be a difficult ride ooh it ought to make it easier on you ooh it ought to make it easier on you people out here aren t like you not that i want them to be they re raised drinking water so gentle and clear and they ve brought out the sweetheart in me yeah they brought out the sweetheart in me i m not like the boy you d remember i m relaxed and i m satisfied i ve come to terms with the object of failure setting past heartache aside ooh it ought to make it easier on you ooh it ought to make it easier on you i ve gone to chapel hill if they ask you tell them i wish they were here it was not them that i tried to escape from but i dreamed of a future unclear and if anyone wishes to chase me it would probably do them no good because the reason i m here is the same reason that i was someone they never understood ooh it ought to make it easier on you ooh it ought to make it easier on you ooh
