Oh  your reputation's so golden  You're never lonely  and you're
 never home.
I  know you've been talking about leaving  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.
 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.
 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 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
 '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
