I'm just a fool - no disguise
I still get hurt - same old pride
But growing older - i've realized
There's not a place - in my life - tonight

(chorus)
I ain't gonna leave this town no more
I'm sorry for the times that i did before
I'm going back to where my heart came from
I ain't gonna leave this town again
I'm sorry for the things i did but then
I didn't realize whre i belonged

Shakin' the blues - every night
Been all alone - no surprise
Don't you forget me - i'm so blind
I'm coming back - one more time - tonight

(chorus)

If these streets were empty
With nothing to see
You could take me from this town
Oh but you won't take this town out of me

Too many years - can't forget
So many dreams - ain't done yet
An' all of these memories - still the same
I'm going home - and i'll remain - unchanged

(chorus)

Young love - bigger than anything
You're waitin' for a girl to ring
Talkin' bout young love

And i don't want anyone else to call your name
And i don't think anyone else could feel the same

(chorus)
I can't stop thinkin' about
The way she's holding it out
I'm talkin' bout young love

Young love - bigger than everything
Shines like a diamond ring
Talkin' bout young love

And i don't think anyone else could understand
And i don't want anyone else to be your man

(chorus)

And i don't want anyone else to call your name
And i don't think anyone else could feel the same

Young love - bigger than everything
Waitin' for the bells to ring
Talkin' bout young love

Na na na na - na na na na na young love
Na na na na - na na na na na young love

Highnoon driver's got a kick tail beater
And he rides just as fast as he knows
Long shot dealer sold a real fire eater
Burning money just as fast as she goes
Kid don't care 'cos he can't get enough
Easy come - easy go
Tells his mama that he ain't living under a stone
An' he's ready oh - oh

Late night pleaser spends her daytime teaching
In the small town missionary hall
Back seat teaser never takes any money
But her friends make it nailed to the wall
She don't care 'cos she can't get enough
One way ticket to the ball
Tells here mama that she ain't living under a stone

One night in the middle of main street
Riding in a big flash car
Sets his eyes on the good time seeker
She jumps inside but they go too far

Years go by and they've both grown older
Kinda' sorry for the things that they did
Lookin' back they could have both been something
But their caution ran away with the wind
Life ain't never been an easy touch
They got a house that they can't afford
And teenage kids saying they can't live under a stone

You keep telling me everything's gonna be cool tonight
But i keep thinking that you might be going outta
Your mind
It's a perfect little invitation
But i gotta lot of reservations
So leave a message on the line for me
Girl you know i'm gonna need a sign
And if you wanna take a ride with me
Better call me up - leave a message on the line

You keep telling me he don't got a clue
About anything
But i keep thinking that he knows it's going on
All right
I guess i've got a lot of hesitation
I'm gonna give it some investigation

(chorus)

I keep thinkin' that i'm gonna need a rocket
Just to calm me down
But you keep telling me everything's gonna be fine
I don't wann be your service station
You could always get a good vibration

(chorus)

Picture an ocean - that no one else can see
A sea of emotion - just made for you and me
I'd promise you anything if you'd - listen to my plea

(chorus)
And if you let me love you - i'd show you the way it
Should be
Yes if you let me love you - i'll show you the way it
Should be

Picture a sad man - alone inside his dreams
It's just how i feel when - i try to make you see
That you could have anything if you'd - put your trust
In me

(chorus)

I'm always afraid of what you might think of me
It could all be the same - the way that it used to be

Picture a castle where - a fool is all you see
I'm living in hope that one day - you might rescue me
'cos i'd wait forever if i - thought you'd set me free

(chorus)

I still remember what i saw last night
Three small kids stealing money from a poor man
Now that ain't right - no that ain't right
I'm still thinking 'bout the things i heard
Poor old man - he was frightened and afraid of every word
- and it's all so absurd

But times are changing now an d i still care
There must be something we can do out there
I'm like a stranger in my own town baby
I'm like a stranger in my own town baby

I keep on walkin' through these run down streets
Graffiti walls - this ain't nothing like it used to be
Not for you or for me
This town's never been so down before
Looks like a photograph - someone mighta taken in
The second world war
Oh but what was that for

So many people gave their lives for this
There's nothing left for us to reminisce
I'm like a stranger in my own town baby
I'm like a stranger in my own town baby

When those sad days were over
I'm sure they all thought that weld won
But now as i look around
We're still invaded by everyone

Things won't ever be the same again
I've not lost a town - i've lost my only friend
Oh but where does it end
We'll never change these times with good intent
But right now i know i don't feel content

I'm like a stranger in my own town baby
I'm like a stranger in my own town baby
