How many times did I say I’ve gotta leave
This sleepy old town just drives me insane
How many times did I dream of the day
I’d roll out of town and never come back again

How many years has it been since those days
That big rolling river washed them all away
I’d give it all to stop time from going by
And trade these blues for an uncloudy sky

I see the smoke winding through the trees
Feel the chill of an early Autumn breeze
I see two figures old and grey
Wondering what became of that child who went away

SOLO

Outside my window the rain’s pouring down
I see the neon of another dead end town
But there’s a place where the sun always shines
Where dreams come true and love never dies
Where dreams come true and love never dies...
