Leavin' Town

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
