There ain't no place for me today
Sure ain't no reason for me to stay
I'm tired of wasting precious time
I'm waking up to leave this time
I'm gonna quit this town
Stop hanging around
I'm gonna quit this town
Got my feet on the ground
I'm tired of being put down
I'm gonna quit this town tonight
I ain't no fool, but I ain't proud
And I'm going where the music's loud
And I'm tired of waiting, keeping in
And going home for half past ten
I'm gonna quit this town
Stop hanging around
I'm gonna quit this town
Got my feet on the ground
I'm tired of being put down
I'm gonna quit this town tonight
The work I do just bores me sick
And how I live I just can't pick
The place I live sure seems like jail
I got no-one to post my bail
I'm gonna quit this town
Stop hanging around
I'm gonna quit this town
Got my feet on the ground
I'm tired of being put down
I'm gonna quit this town tonight
