Last Night In Town

What would you do on your last night in town

If you thought you would never come back?

Would you change your mind about leaving it all behind?

Cuz you don't know if it's wrong, til you know it's not right

Fate can push you around, better put up a fight

If you don't, then who's controlling your life?

It's a game of chance, it's all circumstance

And when it matters the most, the timing's never right

Trade the mountains for the city

Trade comfort for insecurity

But you can't trade time, you just can't trade time

And you said that you would do this

So now you've gotta do this

Alone

Do what you can, before they turn out the lights

Toughen up kid, and sharpen those knives

You gotta stab a couple backs, you know facts is facts

Cuz we're all climbing the ladder, but we all just hold the rungs

And I'm sorry for my pessimistic nature

You've gotta realize that they'll love you or they'll hate you

There's no in between, you'll see what I mean

When you're face down in a ditch, or sitting pretty at the top

The days of our youth are the string of a kite

Don't let go kid, hold on for dear life

Cuz the winds of change will blow

And it's gonna be so cold

So tie it to your wrist, and tie that knot real tight

Don't be frightened when it's time to meet your maker

Cuz the ones who wrote the books, they could be fakers

None of us will know, til he's knocking on the door

So greet him with a smile, and say hi to my mom
