Was pacing on the station Watching motor cars go by A voice or two a mile away Couldn't see them with my eye The way to make your name in this town Is by leaving it forever They'll live your life out while you're gone A mystery like the weather Leaving town is so exciting I think I saw the train Forget all that's pa**ed and free your mind Leave all the ole' folks back home behind Seek what you will and will what you find Fortune may be fame Exploring fresh horizons Instead of marking time Best to get on while you can
Doesn't matter what you find Station master bearing down With flags to greet the train So you're going to make the big time Are you? - I think it's going to rain Just like all the other bores... He'll always be the same Forget all that's pa**ed and free your mind Leave all the ole' folks back home behind Seek what you will and will what you find Fortune may be fame Feet upon the footstep Whistle blows farewell Tried to wave but I hadn't the heart Have I paved my way to hell?
