I Don't Want To Live Here
I was part of this town
When I was a kid
It seemed full of attractions and magic
Before I went away
Oh I knew every cop
And I knew every trick
What you could get away with
And what you can't do or can't say
I drove around these sunny old streets
With a happy smile on my face
Who would ever expect me
To vanish without a trace
Now I don't wanna live here
Anymore
I went swimming in the ocean
Joined a soccer team
Every winter I was playing in the local league
Like everybody else
Then something took shape
In the back of my mind
Made me leave what I loved
Guess I had to stay true to myself
Had a big plan ahead of me
Had to follow it to the end
Went so far along that road
That I couldn't turn back again
Now I don't wanna live here
Anymore
There's a lot of good people here
They got their hopes
And they got their fears
Find a way to keep goin'
When they fall
They all talk about the good old days
And about what happened
While I was away
As f I haven't changed a bit
Feel like I'm a stranger to them all
The mountains of my dreams
Are now just dunes
The streets are shorter
When they used to seem so long
Tortilla bar is all shut down
A young family lives
In my parents' house
Now that they're gone
My old friends they tell me
That I should try to stick around
I guess they'll never know
That I'll always love this town
It's just that I don't wanna live here
Anymore
Anymore
I don't wanna live here anymore
Anymore
I don't wanna live here anymore
Anymore
When I was a kid
It seemed full of attractions and magic
Before I went away
Oh I knew every cop
And I knew every trick
What you could get away with
And what you can't do or can't say
I drove around these sunny old streets
With a happy smile on my face
Who would ever expect me
To vanish without a trace
Now I don't wanna live here
Anymore
I went swimming in the ocean
Joined a soccer team
Every winter I was playing in the local league
Like everybody else
Then something took shape
In the back of my mind

Had to follow it to the end
Went so far along that road
That I couldn't turn back again
Now I don't wanna live here

And they got their fears

That I'll always love this town
It's just that I don't wanna live here
Anymore
Anymore
I don't wanna live here anymore
Anymore
I don't wanna live here anymore
Anymore
