I Don't Wanna Die in This Town - Old 97's

How did I get here?

Where was I headed?

You know, I can’t recall

Where did everything go wrong?

There was a highway

Frank singing «My Way»

Or maybe it was Sid

Now I’m payin' for what I did

First there was sirens

Then there was silence

And a black sky full of stars

Oh, I think we might’ve gone too far

Step on the gas

Get out of here

I don’t wanna die in this town

Put it in the past

In the rearview mirror

I don’t wanna die in this town

I’ll entertain you

But I can’t save you

Although I’m doing the best I can

I’m just a singer in a rock’n’roll band

You want a piece of

All that I think of

And I’m thinkin' how pretty you are

I’m lookin' for a getaway car

Step on the gas

Get out of here

I don’t wanna die in this town

Put it in the past

In the rearview mirror

I don’t wanna die in this town

I got nothin' to lose in this town

Gonna walk up to a wide-eyed girl

Workin' at a counter, wastin' her life

Tell her that I’m leavin' tonight about midnight

You should come along, you should come along

You should come along, you should come along

Step on the gas

Get out of here

I don’t wanna die in this town

Put it in the past

In the rearview mirror

I don’t wanna die in this town

I don’t wanna die in this town

You should come along, you should come along

You should come along, you should come along

You should come along, you should come along

You should come along, you should come along
