Small Town Heroes

She was the queen

She got all her drugs for free

She walked up to her daddy's door

He said: You don't live here anymore

She wanted love, wanted love

Oh, but she just couldn't get enough

And my man, he wanders 'round

He lets all those young women down

And they say: Baby, oh, can't you stay?

And he says: Darling, already on my way

They wanted love, wanted love

Oh, but they just couldn't get enough

Well, all these people and all these things

What's the point in a wedding ring?

We might not be here when next year comes

You better watch your back and carry a gun

Baby girl, where did you go?

I threw you out where the cold wind blows

Are you in Vidalia with your no-good mom?

Just couldn't watch you stick it in your arm

I wanted love, wanted love

Oh, but I just couldn't give enough

From the boogie-down to Bowling Green

I rode the night train to infinity

I tempted fate and I acted smart

I grew some callous on my heart

I wanted love, wanted love

Oh, but I just couldn't give enough, enough

Well, all these places, and all these towns

What's the point in settling down?

We might not be here when next year comes

You better live it like you're on the run
