LYRICS

Oh your reputation is so golden
your never lonely and your 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 point of view.

But when your 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 shared time together
and how you used to say that the stars are forever.
And dreamed about how to make your life better by
leaving town, leaving town.

Pack your bags, your smokes in your pocket
Your wearing my locket around your neck
Take your drag and wait for the Greyhound
the world is your playground and you want to win.

But when your 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 shared time and
how you used to say that the stars are forever.
And dreamed 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 your 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 shared time together
and how you used to say that the stars are forever.
And dreamed about how to make your life better by
leaving town, leaving town.
Yeah I remember how we shared time together and
how you used to say that the stars are forever.
And dreamed about how to make your life better by
leaving town, leaving town.
Your leaving town, yeah
