| Oh, your reputations so golden
|
| You’re never lonely and you’re never home
|
| I know you’ve been talking 'bout leaving
|
| You’ve lost all your feelings for this town
|
| Paint your nails and put on your lipstick
|
| You don’t want to miss your ticket out
|
| Just because you graduate
|
| From school so high in the
|
| Gene pool, thats your point of view
|
| But when you’re broken down
|
| And no one else is around
|
| You’ll come running back to this town
|
| And I’ll be there, yeah I’ll be there
|
| 'Cause I remember how we drank time together
|
| And how you used to say that the stars are forever
|
| And day dreamed about how to make your life better
|
| By leaving town, leaving town
|
| Pack your bags, your smokes in your pocket
|
| You’re wearing my locket around your neck
|
| Take a drag and wait for the Greyhound
|
| The world is your playground, and you oughta win
|
| But when you’re broken down, and no one
|
| Else is around, you’ll come running back to this
|
| Town, and I’ll be there, yeah, I’ll be there
|
| Cause I remember how we drank time together
|
| And how you used to say that the stars are forever
|
| And day dreamed about how to make your life better
|
| By leaving town, leaving town
|
| Nothing in life will ever come that easy
|
| Doesn’t mean it has to be that hard
|
| I know you will find out who you are…
|
| But when you’re broken down, and no one else
|
| Is around, you’ll come running back to this town
|
| And I’ll be there, yeah, I’ll be there
|
| 'Cause I remember how we drank time together
|
| And how you used to say that the stars are forever
|
| And day dreamed about how to make your
|
| Life better, by leaving town, leaving town
|
| My love
|
| You’re leaving town
|
| Yeah |
