[Verse] You said you'd catch the morning train out past the factory smoke Grey sky hangin low above the river road We laughed outside the bar said you won't make it far Old town whispers pull you back again [Chorus] No one leaves this town for long That's what everybody always said Run your mouth chase a brighter sun You'll be back where the street began [Verse 2] Saw you walkin past the square with that bag in your hand Cold wind pushin dust along the rails Dave spat slow said you'll crawl back here Cities break a man in half [Chorus] No one leaves this town for long That's what everybody always said Run your mouth chase a brighter sun You'll be back where the street began [Bridge] Years rolled on and you stayed gone Your name driftin through the barroom smoke Someone swore they saw your face somewhere down south But no one really knows [Chorus] No one leaves this town for long That's what everybody always said Run your mouth chase a brighter sun You'll be back where the street began [Chorus] No one leaves this town for long That's what everybody always said Run your mouth chase a brighter sun You'll be back where the street began
