Underrated
I waited patiently for you to come around
I sacrificed my sanity to keep from breaking down
I always thought of you and forgot about myself
But the only one you care about is you and no one else
I used to be so naïve
And you never cared about me
Now I see that I can't achieve
Everything that you want from me
Honesty was all I asked but you just let me down
Countless times I gave you the benefit of the doubt
You think that I'm a fool you'll get away with it
But this time I'm not so willing to forgive and forget
Feeling unappreciated
Dedication understated
Everything's so complicated
I think that I'm underrated
You said you could handle it
You said go ahead and quit
Now you'll finally get your wish
So just try not to choke on it
We recommend: I Need to Be in Love

Riding on the City of New Orleans
Illinios Central, Monday morning rail
15 cars and 15 restless riders
3 conductors and 25 sacks of mail
All along a southbound odyssey
The train pulls out of Kankakee
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields
Passing trains that have no name
Freight yards full of old black men
The graveyards of the rusted automobiles
