Uncle Tupelo - Looking for a Way Out lyrics

when you find you can't somehow make it like all the rest you won't need to scrounge around for someone else torn between the unknown and the place that you call home and the life you want but have never known there was a time you could put it out of your mind leave it all behind there was a time that time is gone what has a life of fifty years in this town done for you except to earn your name and place on a bar stool you spent your whole life in this county you never been out of state you say you're gonna make it out before it's too late there was a time you could put it out of your mind leave it all behind there was a time that time is gone there was a time when nothing seemed to make much sense that's turned more intense and all the crutches you've kept around now are nowhere to be found remember when you didn't have to look ahead or behind you there was always something right there to do but now it's life in some kind of trap looking for a way out well, you keep moving on that's what it's all about there was a time you could put it out of your mind leave it all behind there was a time that time is gone
