I turned this town into a cancer
Now movin' on's my only answer
My roots obstruct the exit way
You and I both know there's nothing left to say

I am making my daring escape
I'm sneaking out, my world I reshape
I sneak through the door, don not distract
I'm looking forward, never looking back

Our dreams like whiskey, better with time you see?
Rush the drunk, it's not the same
There ain't no heaven, not in this world
I wish you were begging me to stay

One day I'll write a letter
Just to let you know I am doing much better
Maybe I'll pick up the telephone
I don't know why, no way you'll let me come back home

Our dreams like whiskey, better with time you see?
Rush the drunk, it's not the same
There ain't no heaven, not in this world
I wish you were begging me to stay
