I’d let the piano drive me
as far south as we can go
If only I could find the key
I’d leave all that I know

I’d let the music move me
To letting all my bridges burn
And I’d write one last note
Leave this town and never return

I think this town is tired of me
Keen to all my same old tricks
I’m aging a little too rapidly
The clock mutters too many ticks

I’ll move where people still smile
even if it’s only a mask they place
Because seeing at least one smile
is better then every frowning face

I’d let the piano drive me
as far south as we can go
If only I could find the key
I’d leave all that I know

I’d let the music move me
To letting all my bridges burn
And I’d write one last note
Leave this town and never return

I’ll miss it, I’m sure I will
My new home will start to wane
a brand new town to live
every one dying of the same old pain

Maybe it’s me that has changed
Maybe I responsible for the old grins
this will be where the new I dies
And the old me once again begins

I’d let the piano drive me
as far south as we can go
If only I could find the key
I’d leave all that I know

I’d let the music move me
To letting all my bridges burn
And I’d write one last note
Leave this town and never return
