|
There's a town out there |
|
I spent a little time |
|
I almost didn't make it out alive |
|
Since I did I thought I'd write a song |
|
About the things I saw while I was there |
|
Had the same clothes |
|
Had the same name |
|
So I took off running right out of that town |
|
Hope I never have to go back again |
|
Chorus: |
|
I won't tell you just where it is in case I ever have to go back again |
|
But you're gonna know it if you ever pass through it |
|
Provided that they let you in |
|
Well, the moms and the dads, they drove the same cars |
|
They had the same jobs and they didn't think a lot |
|
If I didn't think I'd get in trouble with the law |
|
I tell you I'd of laughed out loud |
|
Kids got the same grades, wore the same shoes |
|
Struttin' in maroon, velcro kangaroos |
|
Which I liked enough, I tried to get a pair |
|
But they didn't have any to spare |
|
[ Chorus ] |
|
I could tell right away I wouldn't fit in |
|
Had the right color eyes and the right color skin |
|
But I didn't know the sign or the magic word |
|
And I think that they knew I smoked a bit from time to time |
|
[ Chorus ] |
