Welcome to the New South Lyrics
Welcome home outcasts
Because I know how you have
Felt over the years
The truth is that
Looking at me is like
Looking in the mirror
And I know how it feels
To be the best part
Of a running joke
To all of your friends
And to be on the edge of your bed
With your head buried in your hands
Wishing that everything would end
I know how it feels to be the loneliest
Welcome back outcasts
Because I've told myself
That it would be alright
Probably about a million times
Over every minute of all of my life
I know how it feels
To be so confused
That you're so far out of control
And to be on the edge of your bed
With your head buried in your hands
Wishing that everything would end
I know how it feels to be the loneliest
So you sit and wait for a sign
That the coming days will be alright
And you drink
So you can forget another night
Bruised from the blackouts
And your blood red eyes
Try to start looking
For the brighter side
Wait for a sign
Wait for a sign
Wait for a sign
Welcome home
Everything will be alright
And I know how it feels
To be the best part
Of a running joke all of your life
Welcome home...
Outcasts welcome home
Outcasts welcome home
Outcasts welcome home
Welcome home...
Because I know how you have
Felt over the years
The truth is that
Looking at me is like
Looking in the mirror
And I know how it feels
To be the best part
Of a running joke
To all of your friends
With your head buried in your hands
Wishing that everything would end
I know how it feels to be the loneliest
Because I've told myself
That it would be alright
Probably about a million times
Over every minute of all of my life
I know how it feels
To be so confused
That you're so far out of control
With your head buried in your hands
Wishing that everything would end
I know how it feels to be the loneliest
That the coming days will be alright
And you drink
So you can forget another night
Bruised from the blackouts
And your blood red eyes
Try to start looking
For the brighter side
Wait for a sign
Wait for a sign
Wait for a sign
Welcome home
Everything will be alright
To be the best part
Of a running joke all of your life
Outcasts welcome home
Outcasts welcome home
Outcasts welcome home
Welcome home...

Ahhhh... this reminds me of my middle school years... I was part of a running joke to all of my friends.
OMG!!! okay why has no body commented on this song. this is a newer less than jake song so i understand that. But its certianly one of there best songs ever. the lyrics are brillant and im 100 percent sure that any teenager at one stage of there life could relate to this this song in one way or another. 'outcasts welcome home'
I love this song I like how he explains how he is calling all outcasts from society to unite. Any one who was a teenager can relate to this song.
It grabs you by the throat and throttles you into listening to the rest of the album
