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)
