Leave This Town

Seems like I spend about half of my life being lonely
The rest of the time I've just been trying to break free
Used a lot of lovers for stepping stones
I let all the others trample all over me.
Now I find I'm floating where I used to have to work so hard
I'm telling you I really do feel fine
In happiness you can lose yourself just like anywhere else
And in comfort you can waste a lot of time
I gotta leave this town
Or I start spinning around
Gotta find a white line and hit it hard
I gotta move on
Before everything goes wrong
While I'm still holding all the cards.
I used to think love was only lust and laziness
As I watched all my good friends settle down
I woke up without a clue
Next to you this morning
Thinking maybe this is the real thing that I've found
I gotta leave this town
'For I lose my ground
Even if it means I gotta break our hearts
I gotta move on
'For everything goes wrong
While I'm still holding all the cards.
I've put it off because I always do
That's why I'm still here with you
But this attitude, yes, gotta break sometime
I've watched it rise and it's gotta fall
It'll all come out when Vera calls
And soon I'll have to pay for all these crimes.
I gotta leave this town
Before I start spinning around
Gotta find a white line and hit it hard
I gotta move on
Before everything goes wrong
While I'm still holding all the cards
I gotta move on
Before everything goes wrong
While I'm still holding all the cards
