Take me away from here, take me away
Take me away, away, away from here
Take me away from here, take me away
Take me away, away, away from here
I remember back in middle school, I was still a nerdy dude
New kid, in a new state, what the hell have I got to lose
Friends kept me grounded, but then I saw a girl
And I was smitten, thought of her as my whole world
But she was out of my league, she was Majors, I was Minors
There was a dance coming up, and I thought I'd just try her
One day after class, man, I asked the question
She said yes, felt like it was one of God's blessings
So the day came, and the dance turned out great man
Someone spiked the punch, most of the dance got wasted
Couple weeks later, she started acting shifty
Actively avoiding me, I figured it was ending
But what she told me took me by surprise
Apparently she'd get drunk then fuck a bunch of guys
You're too good for me, she said one day after class
Man fuck it, I guess nice guys do finish last
Take me away from here, take me away
Take me away, away, away from here
Take me away from here, take me away
Take me away, away, away from here
Alone 5 more years, then I remembered a girl
That I dated in high school, she fucked up my world
We dated for a while, things were going okay
But I was hearing shit from everybody, what can I say
So I dumped her, and then two weeks later
She showed up at my house with a little piece of paper
She was pregnant, and she was saying it was mine
At first I was excited, didn't think she was lying
But her story didn't add up and she wouldn't take a test
Wondering if my father went through this mess
Am I just like him, stuck at a fork with poor choices
The child didn't look like me, but no rejoicing
Cause if he is mine, I wanna spend time with him
But at the same time, I don't wanna be another victim
Got a baby of my own, and I can't live in the past
Man fuck it, I guess nice guys do finish last
Take me away from here, take me away
Take me away, away, away from here
Take me away from here, take me away
Take me away, away, away from here
Went through all that shit, found a new girl from my past
Started chatting again, but she lived near Boston, Mass
She came down in a Greyhound, and then we clicked
She stayed down for about a month and then off she went
Kept in contact, pretty soon she wanted to move in
So me and Randy took a little road trip, so stupid
18 hours one way, and the bitch still wasn't grateful
I was an ugly piece of shit, putting food on the table
Couple months pass, seem to be getting along well
Except she didn't want to work, just stay at home and cause hell
Came home one day, and guess what I found
She was cyber sexing her ex on my damn couch
I saw red, damn near took her fucking head off
But I'm not like my step-dad, not like him at all
I fucking ended it, and I'm done living in the past
Man fuck it, I guess nice guys do finish last
Take me away from here, take me away
Take me away, away, away from here
Take me away from here, take me away
Take me away, away, away from here
