It was a kind of town, edge of the universe
Nothin happened there to ever make the news
Lived a little boy and a girl next door
Had opinions and independent views
They dreamed of nights and big city lights
It helped to kill each dreary day
And all the things that gettin out would bring
If only they could get away
He say
I cant hold on cause Im feelin strong
But theres so many things Im not knowing
But the city light didnt burn so bright
And the light of day was never warm
And the little boy got into one more fight
And the girl next dorr said I miss my home
He said believe in me
She said I dont know
He said cant you see?
I cant hold on cause Im feelin strong
And theres so many things Im not knowing
And I cant hang round this one-horse town
When my souls tied down, Im for going
So the little boy became a broken man
With a broken face and broken dreams
And the girl next door disappeared one day
And in her place
Was a woman-child, with long red hair
And a price per hour, that she feels is fair
I cant hold on, Im not feeling strong
Theres so many things that hurt me now
And I cant step down from this big cold town
Where my souls tied down
