lyrics

drinking yourself to death
aint as easy as they make it sound
the only thing thats killing me
is when I take a look around this town
so im leaving here tonight darling
not even taking time to pack
the only thing Im trying to ask
is can you leave here and not look back

I know youre sick of watching them
talk of what they think they know
so Im turning the key guitar in the trunk
and we'll find a new place to call home

dont ask you daddy's permission
he wouldn't stop us even if he knew how
we'll hop the border to mexico
and try to disappear in the crowds
I hear the beach is always warm
no need to bring your coat
but it stays so cold around these parts
the only choice is sink of float

I know youre sick of watching them
kill themselves is so damn slow
so Im turning the key guitar in the trunk
and we'll find a new place to call home
