I'm leaving today
I keep telling myself that
I have to stray
But I end up not getting that far
Only leaving my flat
To go to the nearest bar
I've got the Bergen blues
I don't want to leave, don't want to stay
Wanna be home and far away at the same time
My hometown is my favorite town
So why does it bring me down?
I guess I got the, guess I got the, guess I got the Bergen blues
I can leave tomorrow
I keep telling myself that
There's no sorrow
That a whiskey or six can't heal
Going back to my flat
Drunk enough to not feel
I've got the Bergen blues
I don't want to leave, don't want to stay
Wanna be home and far away at the same time
My hometown is my favorite town
So why does it bring me down?
I guess I got the, guess I got the, guess I got the Bergen blues
I can leave next week
I keep telling myself that
I have to seek
What's beyond these mountains so high
But when the moment arrives
It's too hard to say goodbye
I've got the Bergen blues
I don't want to leave, I don't want to stay
My hometown is my favorite town
So why does it bring me down?
I guess I got the, guess I got the, guess I got the Bergen blues
I can leave next month
Or maybe next year
I keep telling myself that all I need is right here
And that all the new places will have the same kind of faces
That I'm tired of seeing everyday
But I know that I would miss them if I moved away
I've got the Bergen blues
I don't want to leave, don't want to stay
Wanna be home and far away at the same time
My hometown is my favorite town
So why does it bring me down?
I guess I got the, guess I got the, guess I got the Bergen blues
