Sadness lies in hopeless eyes They trade their futures for family ties Can't be free in this society There's nothing here that's left for me
I couldn't stay and just slave away I keep my promise for brighter days I knew that there'd be something more Something far from my front door
You left it all all behind Won't you come ‘round, make up for the lost time I had to let go, know there's nothing to hold me down That's why I can't go back, I'll never go back to that damn town
There's not one day since I've gone away that I've forgotten from where I came I left because I just had to see If better things would come to me
You left it all all behind Won't you come ‘round, make up for the lost time I just had to let go, know there's nothing that's holdin' me down That's why I can't go back, I can never go back to that damn town I'll never go back to that damn town
Wrong or right, you pick your fight But don't get caught in that blinding light I tried to be what they all see, What's best for them just ain't no good for me
You left it all all behind (Oh baby I had to go) Won't you come ‘round, make up for the lost time (Oh I know I know I know) I had to let go, know there's nothing that's holdin' me down That's why I can't go back, I'll never go back to that damn town Oh, I could never, I could never go back I'm just trying to trying to trying to trying to get on with myself now Oh, I got to got to got to move baby
