  • Let's pack our stuff now and run away
    We can't be all we want in this small town
    Our life was rough so, let's make our days
    What we want and I'll give you my last name

    We'll take our chances
    After all these letdowns
    Let's keep our patience
    Until ourselves are found
    (Oh-oh-oh, oh)

    All we wanted
    Was a place to feel like home
    That's why we parted
    From our ways to heal our souls
    I'm a small town miserable man
    That does what he can
    I'm a small town miserable man
    That does what he can, mm-mm
    I'm a miserable man

    It's been some years now and we're okay
    We have some kids and built our dream house
    We're eating dinner, so we're saying grace
    Without the light, we wouldn't find our way

    How are we standing
    From misery to this now?
    'Cause we've been stranded
    To screaming this out loud

    All we wanted
    Was a place to feel like home
    That's why we parted
    From our ways to heal our souls
    I'm a small town miserable man
    That does what he can
    I'm a small town miserable man
    That does what he can, mm-mm
    I'm a miserable man

    (I'm a miserable man)
    (I'm a miserable man)
    (I'm a miserable man)
    I'm a miserable man Writer/s: Abe Parker, David Alan Kushner II
