This Town

Yeah, summer's come and gone And life just stumbles on I wake up to the dawn wishing I was anywhere but here I grab my freedom keys, I'm sick of this disease I'm going where I please and I don't care if I disappear And my soul remembers one sweet hot August night You lay clinging to me tight Your mouth hot as embers I felt like we could drown You said "Damn this town" Back the car up (I want you next to me) To your window (my fatal fantasy) Climb in here beside me and I'll take you anywhere Drink from my cup (there's nothing here for us) Over the rainbow (just God and you I trust) Head out on the highway with a promise and a prayer All the malls have tumbled down There's nothing left here in this town I wanna wake up knowing I'm anywhere but here Rows of loveless houses Gardens full of dying flowers And the minutes pass like hours, you know God's not living here And I remember one scorching summer night There was no wrong or right And by September You've burned your wedding gown You said, "Take me from this town" Back the car up (set my soul at ease) To your window (we're just refugees) Climb in here beside me and I'll take you anywhere Tie your hair up (this town is dirt and rust) Over the rainbow (it's blown away like dust) Head out on the highway with a promise and a prayer This town (I know we'll never) This town (be together) This town (in this town) This town (this town) This town (go and find) This town This town This town Back the car up (I want you next to me) To your window (my fatal fantasy) Climb in here beside me and I'll take you anywhere Tie your hair up (there's nothing here for us) Over the rainbow (just God and you I trust) Head out on the highway with a promise and a prayer (This town) (This town) (This town) (This town)
