Come to a place
Where differences are shamed
Tolerance is that where
Only people's first names change
Forty-six hour days
The years are four months long
You ask yourself where your life went
And how your children grew so old
She would rather sigh
And settle a quiet death
And come explore the west
Now part of me is there forever
The look in their eyes
As they crack another beer
They crack another [?]
And swallow swallow swallow fear
Never could be anyone by hanging around
Now I know just why I had to leave
'Cause this town is more than I can handle
I'm lucky I got out alive
This town is more than I can handle
If I stayed here I wouldn't have survived
This town
Oh friends you never see
You ask 'em how they've been
They say nothing else is new
But who gets knocked up red and drugged up blue
No, not for now
There's nothing for me here
Maybe when I'm old and rich
I'll buy a tombstone, lose my hair and cry
Never could be anyone by hanging around
And now I know just why I had to leave
'Cause this town is more than I can handle
I'm lucky I got out alive
This town is more than I can handle
If I stayed here I wouldn't have survived
This town
This town
Never thought that you could be so unhappy
With boredom as your occupation
Sucking out the marrow from your parents' bones
And time and money [?]
Stopped to ask yourself why am I alive for?
