I didn't know where to go Didn't know what I should see So I left town As soon as you left me Tried to find myself Down in Tennessee But you got away With the best of me But now I do my best And I'm barely getting by This damn town never sleeps Keeps me runnin' every night And now I do my best And I'm barely getting by This damn town never sleeps Keeps me runnin' every night Thought I'd get by on my own Thought I'd be what I want to be Until you opened my eyes And you made me see I'll just play these cards 'Til my time and money's gone And I'll leave this world With some simple songs But now I do my best And I'm barely getting by This damn town never sleeps Keeps me runnin' every night And now I do my best And I'm barely getting by This damn town never sleeps Keeps me runnin' every night
