Too Much In This Town

Too Much In This Town

I’ve got a long-term lease

And three accounts at the bank

I’ve got stuff piled high that nobody can use

And all the friends that I can thank

Never meant to stay so long on this merry-go-round

I’m walking away ‘cause I’m too much in this town



You know the time just flies

And so does the cash

Until a man can’t tell

The jewels from the trash

Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s the truth I have found

I’m making other plans ‘cause I’m too much in this town



There are just as many secrets in this dirty little town

As there are dirty little people gonna spread ‘em all around

Keep your money in the family and your politics of plain

Keep your hands down in your pockets and mouths up to the rain



Got my mind made up

Got gas in the car

Turned in my keys and my need to please

Said goodbye to the boys at the bar

Never meant to stay so long on this merry-go-round

I’m walkin’ away ‘cause I’m too much in this town

Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s the truth I have found

I’m walkin’ away ‘cause I’m too much in this town
