Leaving town (woody guthrie festival)


We've been there for hours
I'm running late
See the water towers
From the interstate
Looks like a party
At the rocky road

When we were younger
And our eyes were clear
We bit the under
On the rearview mirror
The rolling thunder
Ringing in our ears

Here I am now, I'm torn and tattered
All mixed up in the local crowd
Well, I remember when all that mattered
Was getting older and leaving town

Out in the alley
By the parking lot
Cheatwood and Linda
Out taking shots
Not even sneaking
In the broad daylight

And there's folding tables
And there's Christmas lights
Somebody told me
You'd be back tonight
Some kid who's playing
A Woody Guthrie song

Here I am now, I'm torn and tattered
All mixed up in the local crowd
I remember when all that mattered
Was getting older and leaving town

Porch swing is hanging
From the cottonwood
I turned the corner
And there you stood
Smiled like you used to
And all the world's outside

I'm mostly happy
With the life I chose
But here's the window
That was painted closed
Let's bust it open
While the night's still young

Here I am now, I'm torn and tattered
All mixed up in the local crowd
I remember when all that mattered
Was getting older and leaving town

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
