Oh, your reputations so golden You're never lonely and you're never home I know you've been talking 'bout leaving You've lost all your feelings 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, thats 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, yes 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 Greyhound 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'll 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 used to say that the stars are forever, And you used to daydream about how to make your Life better, by leaving town, leaving town
