I got out and stayed away And I just visit family and friends I tell stories to keep me entertained And they believe every word I say And there ain't much to this town I guess But I'll probably come back to die Ain't it funny how some things never change And how hard it is to cover up lies 'Cause Ferndale Creek still runs the same As it did five years ago And the high school still does an awful job Of teaching kids what they need to know And my ex-girlfriend's got two boyfriends And that's funny as hell to me I guess that's how it goes When you stay back home and never leave You talk trash You're cussin' up and down That you were here to make the first move Pretty soon they'll make you the mayor Or at least you hope they do And I may be wrong Hell it might be heaven But every time I pass that sign It's the same old stuff Ain't a damn thing changed Cause everybody's high 'Cause Ferndale Creek still runs the same As it did five years ago And the high school still does an awful job Of teaching kids what they need to know And my ex-girlfriend's got two boyfriends And that's funny as hell to me I guess that's how it goes When you stay back home and never leave 'Cause Ferndale Creek still runs the same As it did five years ago And the high school still does an awful job Of teaching kids what they need to know And my ex-girlfriend's got two boyfriends And that's funny as hell to me I guess that's how it goes When you stay back home and never leave I guess that's how it goes When you stay back home and never leave Ah yeah And there ain't much to this town I guess But I'll probably come back to die I guess we'll see just how that goes When I move back home and never leave
