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 feelings for this town
 Paint your nails and put 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 broke and 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 Greyhound
 The world is your playground, and you want to win
 But when you're broke and 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 broke and 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
 Yeah 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
 You're leaving town, yeah
