Leaving Town

Oh, your reputation's so golden

You're never lonely and you're never home

I know you've been talking about leaving

You've lost all your feeling 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, that's 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, 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



Pack your bags, your smokes in your pocket

You're wearing my locket around your neck

Take a drag and wait for the grayhound

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 will 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 you used to say that the stars are forever

And daydreamed about how to make your life better

By leaving town, leaving town
