Like The Least Lyrics

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
