Boomerang Town

I was working at the supermart
 When I fell for Julie not to help
 Like everybody said I would
 ♪
 The day I turned 16, I got that job
 Couldn't wait to buy a car, save enough
 Leave this town, for good
 ♪
 In August I asked Julie if she would run away
 Said she wanted to wait for her to graduate
 She'd be the first in her family, so I stayed behind
 ♪
 Thought she could get a scholarship to college
 Become a nurse, travel the world
 But all that, took a backseat when we saw those double nights
 ♪
 As for me
 The only dream I've ever had
 Is getting out of this Boomerang Town
 You think you're soarin'
 You think you're flyin'
 Too young to know, theres no use tryin
 Spinin' circles
 Round, and round
 In this Boomerang Town
 Its a Boomerang Town
 ♪
 Julie got a GED and a job off 35
 The only joint in town thats open all night
 The diner next to the seminary
 ♪
 She serves the truckers, the toreadors, the punks
 The college kids who trash their booze, all stoned and drunk
 Who always pay, but never tip
 With daddy's money
 ♪
 Julie and I come from similar kin
 Heavy drinkers, quick to anger, skin to skin
 They all live and die here
 ♪
 That won't be us I swore to her
 I promise you we'll see the world
 I just don't know when
 ♪
 As for me, the only dream I've ever had
 Is getting out of this Boomerang Town
 You think you're soarin'
 You think you're flyin'
 Too young to know
 Theres no use tryin'
 Spinnin circles
 Round, and round
 In this Boomerang Town
 Its a Boomerang Town
 ♪
 After her shift
 She lights up a smoke up on the bridge
 Under the billboard, painted "Jesus Lives"
 Julie steps over the railing
 Thinks about salvation
 ♪
 The sun arrives and collides with the steeple
 Casts a shadow over God's most desperate people
 Julie takes it as a sign
 Lets go and start flyin'
 ♪
 As for me, the only dream I've ever had
 Is gettin' out of this Boomerang Town
 
 It feels like soarin'
 It feels like flyin'
 Now I know
 Its only dyin'
 You spin in circles
 Round, and round
 In this Boomerang Town
