Out of Town

Take me, take me, take me away from here
Take me, take me, take me away from here
It’s not the taking that scares me, it’s the worry I’ll never leave
I gotta get out of town

Working down on those docks, ice up to my knees
Working down on those docks, ice up to my knees
Been working for that old captain, she’s so hard to please
I gotta get out of town

Drive myself on out the road, see what I can see
Drive myself on out the road, see what I can see
Ain’t no boat to take me, ain’t no road for free
Gotta get out of town

Empty bed, empty heart, and an empty bottle too
Empty bed, empty heart, and an empty bottle too
When one day seems like the other, what’s a poor girl to do
I gotta get out of town

Ring the bell, ring the bell, buy me another round
Ring the bell, ring the bell, buy me another round
Ain’t got one more dollar that I can lay down
I gotta get out of town



Down on South Franklin, they’re yelling up a storm
Down on South Franklin, they’re yelling up a storm
The nights are getting colder, we all need a little warmth
I gotta get out of town

Can’t say another hello, or how do you do
Can’t say another hello, or how do you do
I need a place where I can go and be a stranger too
I gotta get out of town

Take me, take me, take me away from here
Take me, take me, take me away from here
It’s not the taking that scares me, it’s the worry I’ll never leave
I gotta get out of town
I gotta get out of town
I gotta get out of this town
