[Verse 1] All the buildings are boarded up And I lost my job last week There's no one here on these back roads They're out buying antiques Some people left up christmas lights On a house by town hall And everyone you meet Has wrote their name on some local bathroom stall [Chorus] So pack your bags and leave here Don't stay just to stay with me [Verse 2] Gambling drunks stumble out From the restless neon signs And they go out with their women To the local wine and dine The girls wear too much make-up Down at the river with the boys Flipping through the radio Blasting out that american noise [Chorus] So pack your bags and leave here Don't stay just to stay with me (2x) [Verse 3] And me, I'm in a parking lot Drinking from a paper cup I'm just trying to keep warm I'm just trying to wake up [Chorus] So don't stay just to stay with me Don't stay just to stay with me
