[Verse 1]
Always wanted to move to the city
Always wanted out of my hometown
Always thought it was so shitty
Had bigger dreams, I saw bigger skies
That'll all seem so petty
When we're made extinct by AI
I won't live to regret it
But I'll probably wish I'd been at home to die
To die
To die
[Chorus]
My midland's guilt caught my midland's shame
Taught my heart respect for the place I came from
My midland's guilt is with me all the same
Pray I see the day I make it home to die
To die
To die
[Verse 2]
Always wanted to get away
And you all heard my accent changе
I regret that I wasn't proud
Should have put morе love into our landlocked town
Where some of us we didn't vote
'Cause we mostly had no hope for change
Well, I suppose, we probably thought that we would just remain
Remain
I hope that you'll let me remain
[Chorus]
My midland's guilt caught my midland's shame
Taught my heart respect for the place I came from
My midland's guilt is with me all the same
Pray I see the day I make it home to die
To die
To die
