Even the River Runs out of This Town

I hope the skies are beautiful and blue

Wherever it is you find yourself tonight

I hope the miles help to find your smile

'Cause it's been gone a while and if I told the truth

You can't blame a heart for gettin' broken

You can't change the color of the blues

The railroad track and the highway

I guess it's your turn now

Even the river runs out of this town

Part of me hates to see you leavin'

But the bigger part's believin' it's what you had to do

You can't burn bright in a town this dark

Can't hitch your wishes to a one horse star

And I can't blame you for that

You can't blame a heart for gettin' broken

You can't change the color of the blues

The railroad track and the highway

I guess it's your turn now

Even the river runs out of this town

You can't blame a heart for gettin' broken

You can't change the color of the blues

The railroad track and the highway

I guess it's your turn now

Even the river runs out of this town

And I love you so much I ain't askin' you to stick around

Even the river runs out of this town
