Lyrics

Someday I'm gonna leave this dirty little town
Where the talk is cheap on the dirty little streets
And the trees are dying underneath a sky that's purple and brown
You can't drink the water, can't breathe the air
If you go out at all, well you better take care
People packing heat on the mean old streets of this dirty little town
I've been saving my money each and every day
Every dollar I make, I put a nickel away
Five little pennies don't seem like much
Maybe twenty more years and I'll have enough
But someday I'm gonna leave this dirty little town
Where the talk is cheap on the dirty little streets
And the trees are dying underneath a sky that's purple and brown
You can't drink the water, can't breathe the air
If you go out at all, well you better take care
People packing heat on the mean old streets of this dirty little town
Folks ‘round here say I'll never go
But there's something about me that they don't know
I've already left this place in my mind
When my body goes, it's just a matter of time
But someday I'm gonna leave this dirty little town
Where the talk is cheap on the dirty little streets
And the trees are dying underneath a sky that's purple and brown
You can't drink the water, can't breathe the air
If you go out at all, well you better take care
People packing heat on the mean old streets of this dirty little town
