about
I wrote this song after a jamming on the riff with my partner in crime @citizenjesus. He said we got the riff now write the lyrics, and with a grin and wink he said i want them by tomorrow. He walked home, and by the time he got home i called him with the lyrics to the song.
Little did I realize I foretold a prophecy, he disbanded our group and left this town shortly after. That's how music and life works sometimes.
lyrics
Leave This Town
Little Midwest town it ain’t like it seems
People ain’t friendly, ‘fact they’re kinda mean
Prettiest town that I ever seen
But reality here is a white man’s dream, oh yeah
I got to leave this town
I got to leave this town
I got to leave this town
Been here so long but I can’t stay
I got to go, got to get away
I got to leave this town
Well the cops they are lookin’
And they ain’t jokin’
Like to know what I been smokin’
And I know what else they’re thinkin’
Like to see me go drop dead drinkin’ yeah
I got to leave this town
I got to leave this town
I got to leave this town
Ask no questions tell no lies
When I’m gone don’t wonder why
I got to leave this town
Well I left a big city
Came lookin’ for peace
But all I find is more police
Rednecks hassle me in every bar
All I'm tryin’ to do is play guitar
I got to leave this town
I got to leave this town
I got to leave this town
I’m pullin’ out it
It ain’t no pity
I gotta go
I gotta leave this city yeah
I got to leave this town
I tell you little town Ive thought it through
There’s only one thing for me to do
Pack my shit, head for the coast
When I’m gone we’ll see who misses who the most
I got to leave this town
You don’t like me, I don’t like you
goodbye, adios, I’m gone, I’m through
I got to leave this town
I got to leave this town
I got to leave this town
