turnpike troubadours - leaving town (woody guthrie festival) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
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

[verse 2]
when we were younger
and our eyes were clear
we bet the under
on the rearview mirror
the rolling thunder
ringing in our ears

[chorus]
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

[verse 3]
out in the alley
by the parking lot
cheatwood and linda
out taking shots
not even sneaking
in the broad daylight
[verse 4]
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

[chorus]
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

[verse 5]
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

[verse 6]
i’m mostly happy
with the life i chose
but here’s a window
that was painted closed
let’s bust it open
while the night’s still young
[chorus]
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
