[Verse 1]
Found a new room on the east side
Good views, original panes
Got a new plan for a good life and
Won't be the same old same
The place I've been don't fit right
Though I've tried every way I can
When it all works out
I'm gonna get my mind right again

[Chorus 1]
But it ain't them old south windows
And it ain't the hardwood floors
Been looking for something I can never track down
Love that I knew before

[Verse 2]
Got a show coming up this Friday
Good bill with a brand new band
Family coming in on the weekend
Sarah's gonna bring her new man
And the room fills up, it's a good night
Everybody's doing fine out there
Pretty boys courting pretty women
They got flowers in their hair
[Chorus 2]
But it sure as hell ain't the money
Ain't the praise, reviews, rewards
Been looking for something I can never track down
Love that I knew before

[Verse 3]
Got it in my head to go sailing
Get my kicks on a faraway land
Pack away all of my demons
I could begin again
But everywhere I've been it's the same scene
Through a broken-hearted woman's eyes
I'm gonna stay here for a little while
Give it another couple tries

[Chorus 3]
'Cause it ain't out there, I assure you
It ain't nowhere in the whole wide world
It's been sittin' right here this whole time inside
Love that I knew before
It's been sittin' right here and I could not find
Love that I knew before
