Lyrics

Adeline

It's midnight in this dirt road town everyone I know is sleeping now
but I'm up and around I've got nothing here but time such is life in Adeline

But I'm bound for the world beyond the county line
I've found there's more to life than life in Adeline

Still driving this same old car to my favorite weeknight spot
I'm stuck here in Adeline the town that time, town that time forgot

I'm sitting in a parking lot of the only bar we've got
the sign says at Joe's we're up all night but they close at one o'clock
Joe got wise in '95 sold the bar and he left this town alive to join the few, the proud, the brave
to escape from Adeline

And I'm bound for the world beyond the county line
I've found there's more to life than life in Adeline

I'm as far as I've ever been won't be coming back again
I'll ignore the big red sign that says "You're now leaving Adeline"

And I'm bound for the world beyond the county line
I've found there's more to life than life in Adeline
More to life than life in Adeline
