| Sadness lies in hopeless eyes
|
| They trade their futures for family ties
|
| Can’t be free in this society
|
| There’s nothing here that’s left for me
|
| I couldn’t stay and just slave away
|
| I keep my promise for brighter days
|
| I knew that there’d be something more
|
| Something far from my front door
|
| You left it all all behind
|
| Won’t you come 'round, make up for the lost time
|
| I had to let go, know there’s nothing to hold me down
|
| That’s why I can’t go back, I’ll never go back to that damn town
|
| There’s not one day since I’ve gone away
|
| that I’ve forgotten from where I came
|
| I left because I just had to see
|
| If better things would come to me
|
| You left it all all behind
|
| Won’t you come 'round, make up for the lost time
|
| I just had to let go, know there’s nothing that’s holdin' me down
|
| That’s why I can’t go back, I can never go back to that damn town
|
| I’ll never go back to that damn town
|
| Wrong or right, you pick your fight
|
| But don’t get caught in that blinding light
|
| I tried to be what they all see,
|
| What’s best for them just ain’t no good for me
|
| You left it all all behind (Oh baby I had to go)
|
| Won’t you come 'round, make up for the lost time (Oh I know I know I know)
|
| I had to let go, know there’s nothing that’s holdin' me down
|
| That’s why I can’t go back, I’ll never go back to that damn town
|
| Oh I could never, I could never go back
|
| I’m just trying to trying to trying to trying to get on with myself now
|
| Oh I got to got to got to move baby |
