Never Leave This Town

He sits by the supermarket with his knees beneath his coat No money in his pockets, not a cry left in his throat. He doesn't ask for nothing, he just sits with his head down The same as I, he's tried and tried But he can never leave this town Inside there's a woman working, stacking shelves and cashing tills She barely makes a living and the boredom nearly kills She smokes one every morning til her feet don't touch the ground The same as I, she's tried and tried But she can never leave this town Upstairs in the office there's an old boy in a tie A young girl brings him coffee and he'd like to catch her eye He doesn't love his family but he'd never let them down The same as I, he's tried and tried But he can never leave this town You look on out the window, you see a young man off his head He screams along the road he wishes he was dead And though everybody hears him, no one looks around The same as I, they try and try But they can never leave this town
