Take me back to my room on mechanicsville road

With my drawings of flowers all over the walls

My mom downstairs pushing all of our problems

Under the rug

My friends coming round on a friday night

'cause they know I got cigarettes and homemade wine

We walk around south street just killing time

Falling in love.

Now I'm sitting here at this party

And everyone's talking too loud

Nobody here even sees me

Can we go right now?

Oh, won't you take me home?

Oh, won't you take me home?

La's fine when the sun does shine

But I wanna go back to the eastern time

To the people I know

To the people you don't

So won't you take me home?

I wanna go back to the moment in time

With the windows down, driving i-95

Singing counting crows, trying to drown

Out the sounds of my mind.

I hate everyone at this party

'cause they're so in love with themselves

Nobody here understands me

I wish I was somewhere else.

Oh, won't you take me home?

Oh, won't you take me home?

New york's fine in the summertime

But I wanna be far from the city lights

With the people I know

And the people you don't

So won't you take me home?

Oh, won't you take me home?

I don't belong at this party

I don't belong in this town

I need to go back where we started

Can we leave right now?

Oh, won't you take me home?

Oh, won't you take me home?

Oh, won't you take me home?

(La's fine when the sun does shine

But I wanna go back to the eastern time)

Oh, won't you take me home?

(La's fine when the sun does shine

But I wanna go back to the eastern time)

Oh, won't you take me home?
