It's a fancy town where the girls play down what they wear. They got their heads tied up with imitation hair. They let their boys trade off so they won't get soft and try to say. That they'll still get the bill when the feeling goes away away away. But you left here years ago. For miles on the empty round. Driving through the night. Away from home. They've never claimed to own the outstanding loan that your parents gave. And though they thought you could, it would do no good to repay. So you left here years ago Put miles on the empty round Driving through the night Away from home You call everyday and explain that you don't know where you wanna go How you can't live alone Why don't you just move back home? Things 'round here are better than places you'd ever know. The beach got bigger, the river moved over, and they put in a four-lane road. So step on to whatever's gonna pull you closer And don't bring anything. We're gonna start all over.
