Lyrics
THIS TOWN
Well the sun quit comin up here about 10 years back
When the new highway put us way off the beaten track
Not much to do since the town went bust
And I ain?t gonna wait around and watch it rust
CHORUS:
I?m cutting loose
I?m gonna let it rip
I?m checkin out
Cashin in my chips
I?ve only got one life to live
I?m gonna find a new address
I?m gonna point this mustang west
And I know tonight when I lay me down
It won?t be in this town
Now you know a girl my age has certain needs yeah
They don?t include no boarded up windows or weeds
I think it?s time to give that wheel a spin
If you never take a chance you?re never gonna win
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
Everybody?s got a destiny
I don?t know where it is for me
But I know where it ain?t gonna be
CHORUS:
