Oh your reputation's so golden,
You're never lonely, and you're never home.
I know you've been talkin' 'bout leavin',
You've lost all your feelin for this town.
Paint your nails and put on your lipstick,
You don't wanna 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 broken down,
And no one else is around,
You'll come runnin' back to this town,
And I'll be there....Yeah I'll be there.

CHORUS
Because I remember how we drank time together.
And how we used to say that the stars are forever.
And daydreamed about how to make your life better by leavin' town... Leavin' town.

Pack your bags, your smokes in your pocket,
You're wearin' my locket around your neck.
Take a drag and wait for the Greyhound,
The world is your playground, and you wanna win.
But when you're broken down,
And no one else is around,
You'll come runnin' back to this town,
And I'll be there....Yeah I'll be there.

CHORUS

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 runnin' back to this town,
And I'll be there....Yeah I'll be there.

CHORUS
