lyrics

This town is dirt poor and it keeps score
It’s the last place that you’d see bombed
It’s time to get up and bet on my luck
I can’t stick around here for long
Got a bus to catch, the arrangements are set
I’m leaving on the fastest line
Gonna get some sleep while the axles creek
Soon I’ll be reading some new street signs

Don’t want to settle down then I’ll never be found
I’m only running till I find the race
My girl is caught up and intent to disrupt
I still wonder about the look on her face

There’s nothing here, I wish there was
I won’t look back when I’m running out the door
Cause there’s nothing here worth staying for
Nothing here worth staying for

I know trouble like the back of my hand
That’s why you love me
I’m the only kind of man

Don’t have a dial tone so I won’t call home
Plus the chord always creeps around my neck
I’ll send a postcard from my honest start
Don’t come looking when you’re life is a wreck

There’s nothing more, I wish there was
I won’t look back when I’m running out the door
Cause there’s nothing here, I wish there was
Nothing here worth staying for
