Leaving This Town

lyrics

I saw her out on the street last night
And I almost lost my nerve
But I am leaving this town
She was dancing beneath a fading light
Laughing as she threw me a curve
So I am leaving this town

I’m leaving this town tonight
As soon as I can find me a train
And if you're looking around tonight
You'll see it all going down the drain
You know that this town, for me
Is nothing but a broken dream
So I am leaving this town

I drop my money in the candy machine
I'm trying to get my share
As I'm leaving this town
But the damn thing turns only halfway
My candy gets stuck in the air
That’s why I’m leaving this town

I’m leaving this town tonight
As soon as I can find me a train
And if you're looking around tonight
You'll see it all going down the drain
You know that this town, for me
Is nothing but a broken dream
There's nothing here but shades of brown
So I am leaving this town

There’s no belief in this town
There’s no relief in this town
There’s only grief in this town
So I'm leaving this town

And I don’t care where I go tonight
As long as it’s not the same
That's why I’m leaving this town
I’m gonna lay my money down
And if I don’t win the game
I'll be leaving the next town

But I’m leaving this town tonight
As soon as I can find me a train
And if you're looking around tonight
You'll see it all going down the drain
You know that this town, for me
Is nothing but a broken dream
Everyone's lost and no one's found
So I'm leaving this town

It’s all defeat in this town
It’s all deceit in this town
We all retreat in this town
So I'm leaving this town
I don’t believe in this town
I am leaving this town
I don’t believe in this town
I am leaving this town
I am leaving this town
I am leaving this town
