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
