Never Leave

(album: Out On Parole - 2015)

I got out and stayed away
And I just visit family and friends
I tell stories to keep me entertained
And they believe every word I say
And there ain't much to this town I guess
But I'll probably come back to die
Ain't it funny how some things never change
And how hard it is to cover up lies

'Cause Ferndale Creek still runs the same
As it did five years ago
And the high school still does an awful job
Of teaching kids what they need to know
And my ex-girlfriend's got two boyfriends
And that's funny as hell to me
I guess that's how it goes
When you stay back home and never leave

You talk trash
You're cussing up and down
That you were here to make the first move
Pretty soon they'll make you the mayor
Or at least you hope they do
And I may be wrong
Hell it might be heaven
But every time I pass that sign
It's the same old stuff
Ain't a damn thing changed
Cause everybody's high

'Cause Ferndale Creek still runs the same
As it did five years ago
And the high school still does an awful job
Of teaching kids what they need to know
And my ex-girlfriend's got two boyfriends
And that's funny as hell to me
I guess that's how it goes
When you stay back home and never leave

'Cause Ferndale Creek still runs the same
As it did five years ago
And the high school still does an awful job
Of teaching kids what they need to know
And my ex-girlfriend's got two boyfriends
And that's funny as hell to me
I guess that's how it goes
When you stay back home and never leave

I guess that's how it goes
When you stay back home and never leave
Ah yeah

And there ain't much to this town I guess
But I'll probably come back to die
I guess we'll see just how that goes
When I move back home and never leave
