Lyrics
It?s a small town on a Saturday night
If you look into the candlelight you might see Mary Jane
Everyone here all knows she?s just out of sight
Echoes in her lies of all the guys who ever cried her name
I won her one time just for drawing lots
Never thought I?d ever stray away from her side again
Now I know you don?t meet nice girls in coffee shops
Realised her dreams and my dreams had never been the same
Chorus:
You know you?ve got the saddest eyes I?ve ever seen
Did not realise that they?d be so deceiving
If you want to keep your beer cold
Set it next to my ex- girlfriend?s heart
It?s a small town and it?s run right out of luck
Guess there was only so much of it to go round after all
Now I?m loading down this 160?s truck
If I leave today might make it all the way to New Orleans in the fall
I?m going where they don?t know me by name
Where I can roll in on a dust cloud and roll out inside a dream
I?m going where someone else can take the blame
Though through my teens I never asked where did you get those eyes of green?
Chorus:
You know you?ve got the saddest eyes I?ve ever seen
Did not realise that they?d be so deceiving
If you want to keep your beer cold
Set it next to my ex- girlfriend?s heart
Are you gonna miss me when I?m gone?
Are you gonna miss me when I?m gone?
