Small Town Heroes

She was the queen She got all her drugs for free She walked up to her daddy's door He said, "You don't live here anymore" She wanted love, she wanted love Oh, but she just couldn't get enough, enough And my man, he wanders 'round Well, he lays all those young women down And they say, 'Darling, oh, can't you stay?" But he says, "Baby, I'm already on my way" They wanted love, wanted love Oh, but they just couldn't get enough, enough Well, all these people and all these things Now what's the point in a wedding ring? 'Cause we might not be here when next year comes Well, I guess you gotta watch your back and carry a gun Oh, baby girl, where did you go? I threw you out where the cold wind blows Are you in Vidalia with your no-good mom? I just couldn't watch you stick it in your arm You wanted love, wanted love Oh, but I just couldn't give enough, enough From the boogie-down to Bowling Green I rode the night train to infinity Well, I tempted fate and I acted smart I grew some callous on my heart I wanted love, wanted love Oh, but I just couldn't give enough, enough Well, all these places, yeah, all these towns Now what's the point in settling down? 'Cause we might not be here when next year comes So you better live it like you're on the run
