Out of Town

Never mind little girl
About the attitudes and affairs
She's got her bags all packed
And she's skipping down the stairs
Looking past old faces she used to love
She's got her walking boots
And they're fitting like a glove

She knows there's nothing left
To keep her down
She knows there's nothing left
That makes her feel like she does
Heading out of town

Johnny's outside the window
Singing his arias
He always had the sweetest voice
But he never did know when the end of the opera was
Teddy took Lisa to the Hamptons for a spell
Was supposed to take someone else
But maybe this works out just as well

She knows there's nothing left
To keep her down
She knows there's nothing left
That makes her feel like she does
Heading out of town

Take a long last look around
Take whatever you want
Just take it down
Take my hand as we cross the door
Wait right here while I get the car
And it's already warm roll the windows down
There's a nice cool breeze blowing off of this sound
Lean back as we go
It's a long hard drive to
San Francisco

The city breathes sometimes down on you
A little too hard
Looking for that one job that one lay
That one place with a penthouse yard
The airplane taxis on the runway
Could have been some other town
Should have been some other world
Sometime on another day

She knows there's nothing left
To keep her down
She knows there's nothing left
That makes her feel like she does
Heading out of
Town
