Verse:
Pack your bags, your smokes in your pocket You're wearing my locket
around your neck.
Take a drag and wait for the Greyhound The world is your playground
and you want to win.
But when you're broken down and no one else is around.
You'll come running back to this town and I'll be there,
yeah I'll be there
Chorus:
'cause I remember how we drank time together
and how you used to say that the stars are forever
and daydreamed about how to make your life better
by leaving town, leaving town
C#5 B5
Nothing in life will ever come that easy
A5 B5
Doesn't mean it has to be that hard
C#5 B5 A5 B5
I know you will find out who you are...
but when you're broken down and no one else is around
you'll come running back to this town and I'll be there,
yeah I'll be there
'cause I remember how we drank time together
and how you used to say that the stars are forever
and daydreamed about how to make your life better
by leaving town, leaving town
