this damn town

i didn't know where to go

didn't know what i should see

so i left town

as soon as you left me

tried to find myself

down in tennessee

but you got away

with the best of me

but now i do my best

and i'm barely getting by

this damn town never sleeps

keeps me runnin' every night

and now i do my best

and i'm barely getting by

this damn town never sleeps

keeps me runnin' every night

thought i'd get by on my own

thought i'd be what i want to be

until you opened my eyes

and you made me see

i'll just play these cards

'til my time and money's gone

and i'll leave this world

with some simple songs

but now i do my best

and i'm barely getting by

this damn town never sleeps

keeps me runnin' every night

and now i do my best

and i'm barely getting by

this damn town never sleeps

keeps me runnin' every night
