Someday I'm gonna leave this dirty little town Where the talk is cheap on the dirty little streets And the trees are dying underneath a sky that's purple and brown You can't drink the water, can't breath the air If you go out at all, well you better take care People packing heat on the mean old streets of this dirty little town I've been saving my money each and every day Every dollar I make, I put a nickel away Five little pennies don't seem like much After twenty more years I'll have enough Someday I'm gonna leave this dirty little town ... Folks around here say I'll never go But there's something about me that they don't know I've already left this place in my mind Till my body goes, it's just a matter of time But someday I'm gonna leave this dirty little town ...
