Well there's only one road runnin' thru these parts
It pretty much stops right where it starts
It goes nowhere except around and around
I ain't ever gonna get out of this town
I ain't ever gonna get out of this town

Well the train pulled out and it never came back
Now there's weeds growin' up thru the rusty old track
Them planes fly over but they never touch down
I ain't ever gonna get out of this town
I ain't ever gonna get out of this town

But there's this dream I've been dreamin now for years
Where I fly into the Sun and disappear
Got an old Chevy nova sittin up on blocks
Bunch of greasy old parts in a cardboard box
Got her runnin' one time but she broke back down
I ain't ever gonna get out of this town

I've been stealin' Becky's kisses since the leventh grade
And there ain't no runnin' from the love we made
Now we're shoppin' for a stroller and a wedding gown
I ain't ever gonna get out of this town
I ain't ever gonna get out of this town

But there's this dream I've been dreamin now for years
Where I fly into the Sun and disappear
But you just can't get there from here
Well we buried my daddy sang amazing grace
The preacher says now he's in a better place
But I couldn't help thinking when we put him in the ground
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
I ain't ever gonna get out of this town
