The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm for standin' up, I'm for breakin' free

I don't want fate handed down to me --

Yeah, I'm for movin' on, try another town

Time ain't changin' nothin', take a look around

Chorus:

Oh, I'm lost in a one story town

Where everything's close to the ground

Yeah the same shit goes down

Nothing turns around

It's a one story town --

She was only seventeen

But I held her to her word

Had to push her luck

Thought she couldn't burn

No, it didn't hurt me

When she had to leave

She had a far away feeling

Wasn't part of me

Chorus
