Tami Neilson – This Town lyrics

When I roll into this town, first thing I wanna do is leave
With my foot heavy on the gas, I drive so fast I gotta watch my speed
The gossips’ hands are full of time and somehow it became a crime
To have the nerve to run off chasing dreams
Yeah when I roll into this town the first thing I wanna do is leave

Before you even say hello, all I wanna do is say goodbye
Before you even have a chance to think you glance “I miss you” in my eyes
‘Cause you’ve been standing still the whole time that I’ve learned to crash and burn and pick myself back up again and try
So before you even say hello, all I wanna do is say goodbye

And it’s a long way back home
A long way back home
And it won’t let you go
It’s a long way back home

When I reach my hotel room, first thing I’m gonna do is cry
With no one there to sympathize, no prying eyes, I’ll pour a glass of wine
And drink a toast to nights alone and endless highways that I roam looking for that home I’ll never find
Yeah when I reach my hotel room, first thing I’m gonna do is cry

And it’s a long way back home
A long way back home
And it won’t let me go
It’s a long way back home


When I roll into this town, first thing I’m gonna do is leave
