The part of me I like the least
She spent a little time back East
Cared less 'bout people
More about achievin
But ten years out, I still compete
And there's a part of me that's not complete
Without a half-baked, secret plan for leaving
The part that in the name of song is
Prepared to flex on right and wrong
That wants the spotlight and the stage
Which I thought I'd outgrow with age
But the part of me I like the most
Has settled on a different coast
On small-town life, and screw-top wine
With Emmylou and with John Prine
Likes storytellin' for the ages
Couldn't care less what the rage is
I see her best in stark relief
To the part of me I like the least
The part of me I like the least
That girl paid off my debts
She don't lose sleep 'bout compromise
Or things that she'll regret
I try to tell my daughter lessons learned
But it's not clear
'Cause the part of me I like the least
That woman got me here
And the part of me I like the most
Has settled on a different coast
On small-town life, and screw-top wine
With Emmylou and with John Prine
Likes storytellin' for the ages
Couldn't care less what the rage is
I see her best in stark relief
To the part of me I like the least
The part of me I like the most
She took the last train for the coast
And small-town life, and screw-top wine
With Emmylou and with John Prine
Likes storytellin' for the ages
Couldn't care less what the rage is
But still hasn't quite made peace
With the part of me I like the least
