Leave This Town

[Verse 1] I better keep myself from bein' busted I better keep myself outta jail 'Cause I ain't got a friend that can be trusted That's why my mama sends my money through the mail I been down on my luck I been down on my wealth I gotta stop takin' care of business Start takin' care of my health [Chorus] I gotta leave this town (I gotta leave this town) (I gotta leave this town) I gotta leave this town behind Gotta leave (I gotta leave) (I gotta leave) I gotta leave this town tonight [Verse 2] Well, I set off down the main street With such a long, long way to go But before I started, I was cornered on the corner Still waitin' for my sugar to show I been down on my luck I been down on my wealth I gotta stop takin' care of somebody else's business Start takin' care of myself [Chorus] I gotta leave this town (I gotta leave this town) (I gotta leave this town) I gotta leave this town behind Gotta leave (I gotta leave) (I gotta leave) I gotta leave this town tonight I gotta leave this town (I gotta leave this town) (I gotta leave this town) I gotta leave this town behind I gotta leave (I gotta leave) (I gotta leave) I gotta leave this town tonight Oh yeah [Guitar Solo] Oh [Verse 3] I was foolin' around with the sheriff's daughter She was a real fine fox But the sheriff, he came after And he threatened to lock me in a cell box He showed me his Magnum He showed me his shotgun He shoved it in my face And said, "Boy, I think you best be gone" [Chorus] I gotta leave this town (I gotta leave this town) (I gotta leave this town) I gotta leave this town behind I gotta leave (I gotta leave) (I gotta leave) I gotta leave this town tonight I gotta leave this town (I gotta leave this town) (I gotta leave this town) I gotta leave this town behind I gotta leave (I gotta leave) (I gotta leave) I gotta leave this town tonight I gotta leave (I gotta leave) I gotta leave (I gotta leave) I gotta leave (I gotta leave) I gotta leave (I gotta leave) [Verse 1] I better keep myself from being busted (I gotta leave, I gotta leave) (I gotta leave, I gotta leave) I'll get arrested or thrown in jail (I gotta leave, I gotta leave) (I gotta leave, I gotta leave) Hey, sherif, he can't be trusted (I gotta leave, I gotta leave) (I gotta leave, I gotta leave) And mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama (I gotta leave, I gotta leave) (I gotta leave, I gotta leave)
