Taylor Lansdale - Leave This Town Alive Lyrics

Can't shake this small-town headspace
I've been looking for a reason to leave
I've been working at the Nestle factory
I'm afraid it's gonna be the death of me
Tried out some strip mall churches
Holy Spirit and a Walmart sign
I've been buried in some Tom Petty records
Seems to be a better use of my time
All the paint's been peeling off into the yard
Needs a new coat if the trim is to survive
Talk me down again if I tell them that I'm leaving
So I'll make off in the night without goodbyes
Am I gonna leave this town alive?
Maybe I should settle down and get married
There's a woman I've been up to see
Two kids by two ex-husbands
Maybe she would have a third for me
Left the first with a girl at a golf course
Left the second with his nose for pills
Says together we can build us a future
Carve a life from the limestone hills
All the paint's been peeling off into her yard
I should help her out but I can't find the time
She deserves a man with two feet in the door
So I'll make off in the night without goodbyes
Am I gonna leave this town alive?
I can't forget her face
Her gentle eyes, a weathered pair of stones
I'm rattling my cage
She's steady for the ones who call her home
Drank beer with a friend every Sunday
Same seat at the Applebee's bar
Couldn't find him at the visitation
Couldn't peel him from his burnt out car
Two kids and a wife in the front row
Her daddy wondered if I'd seen a change
Didn't talk about his time at the rehab
Found the needles on the interstate
All the paint is peeling off into her yard
Those boys aren't old enough to climb the side
He used to tell me we were picked from the same garden
Then he made off in the night without goodbyes
Am I gonna leave this town alive?
