Out Of This Town

I couldn’t afford to buy you pearls
But I always tried to be a better man
Never hung around with other girls
Slaved away and did the best I can

I never wondered why you
Never seemed to listen to what I say

You always said you need me close to you
The space between us would be too great
I have to go and face the truth
My bags are packed, no reason to wait

I realized too late that you are
Standing in my way

Refrain:

I’m on the right track it’s sad but true
This is my last goodbye to you
And when the leaves are falling down
I will be long gone out of this town

The rain is pattering on my skin
Washes away … the tears I’m cryin’
The pain is hard but it’s my fate
There’s no return, we know it’s too late

And when you call my name
The wind takes the words away

Solo

And when you call my name
The wind takes the words away
