History Of A Boring Town

Just talked to this girl
Who used to live here on my street.
After all these years you're here
And you remember me.
She said her old boyfriend
Packed up and headed back east
But she always knew someday
That he would go.
She just got a new job
But doubts that it will last.
So let's take a drink and never think
Yeah, here's to the past.
And she says it's so funny
How life runs out so fast
It's just another wasted day
A boring life in a boring town
With that same old crowd
And I used to say that I'd never stay
But I'm rotting here today
With that same old crowd
That's always been around
And I always thought I'd be
The first to go
That same old crowd
That drags me down
Another day in a boring town
That same old crowd
That brings me down
A boring life in a boring town
Just talked to this girl
Who used to live here on my street
After all these years you're here
And it's still just you and me
Sometimes I can't believe
After all these years
I just think I'll never leave here
She said it's so funny
How life burns out so fast
Let's take another drink
And here's to the past
That same old crowd
That drags me down
Another day in a boring town
That same old crowd
That brings me down
A boring life in a boring town
And remember when they'd
Look through you
And they'd look past me
We were the ones they said would always leave
So when you go
Just think of me
Think of me
A boring life
In a boring town
With the same old crowd
I used to say I'd never stay
But I'm rotting here today
With that same old crowd
That's always been around
And I always thought that
Yeah now I always thought that
Hey now I always thought I'd be
The first to go
A boring life,
A boring town
A boring life,
A boring town
A boring life,
A boring town
