I know this ain't what you wanna hear But I'm afraid I just can't stick around I can't stand the atmosphere In this town It brings me down So I'm gonna fill the truck with gasoline Now that I've loaded up my stuff It's time for me to chase a couple dreams Before they rust And turn into red dust The highway can be dangerous I know, but it can be just as deadly to settle down I'll let you know if my mind changes But for now I'm leaving town The past couple nights, I've stayed up drinking I guess I've been depressed 'Cause I'm sure you must be thinking That I'm selfish For leaving you alone like this But this here guitar that I carry with me Well she's the one you need to blame 'Cause she gets jealous when you kiss me That's why I can't stay She's making me go away The highway can be dangerous That's right, but it can be just as deadly to settle down I'll let you know if my mind changes But for now I'm leaving town A lack of commitment can be dangerous But they say that it can be just as deadly to take a vow I'll let you know if my heart changes But for now I'm leaving town I know this ain't what you wanna hear But I'm afraid I just can't stick around
