G
Take me back to my room on Mechanicsville Road

With my drawings of flowers all over the walls

My mom downstairs, pushin' all of our problems under the rug

My friends comin' 'round on a Friday night
D
'Cause they know I got cigarettes and homemade wine
Em C
We walk around Salls Street, just killin' time, fallin' in love

Oh, won't you take me home?

To the people you don't
G C G C
So won't you take me home?

D
With the windows down, driving I-95
Em
Singing Counting Crows, tryin' to drown
C
Out the sounds from my mind

I wish I was somewhere else
