lyrics

Just give us your name and one thing about ya
I haven't seen a smile on a face for so long
I can't hear another story I haven't heard before
I can't sing another chorus, every song is a bore
so I'm making a break for the door cause I'm coming with

Get me out of this town,
I'm breaking, I'm breaking
Get me out of this town,
I'm something worth saving
Get me out of this town,
Cause I've been working on this for years
This is my long goodbye

We're just working to be drinking, but the drinks aren't that strong
You're not getting any younger and my looks are gone
when even the street lights, they flicker off when I pass by
got a room in the back of my house where we can kill time
so I'm making a break for the door cause I'm coming with

Get me out of this town,
I'm breaking, I'm breaking
Get me out of this town,
I'm something worth saving
Get me out of this town,
Cause I've been working on this for years
This is my long goodbye
