Leaving Town Lyrics by DEXTER FREEBISH

A Life of Saturdays

2000

[Verse 1]
Oh, your reputation's so golden
You're never lonely and you're never home
I know you've been talking 'bout leavin'
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
'Cause I remember how we drank time together
And how you used to say that the stars are forever
And day dreamed about how to make your life better
By leaving town, leaving town
[Verse 2]
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 wanna win
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
'Cause I remember how we drank time together
And how you used to say that the stars are forever
And day dreamed about how to make your life better
By leaving town, leaving town
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
'Cause I remember how we drank time together
And how you used to say that the stars are forever
And day dreamed about how to make your life better
By leaving town, leaving town
[Chorus]
Yeah, I remember how we drank time together
And how you used to say the stars are forever
And day dreamed about how to make your life better
By leaving town
[Outro]
Leaving town, my love
You're leaving town
Yeah
