Leaving Town

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, yes I'll be there

'Cause I remember how we drank time together

And how you used to say that the stars are forever

And daydreamed 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 want to 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 daydreamed 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'll 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 used to say that the stars are forever,

And you used to daydream about how to make your

Life better, by leaving town, leaving town
