LyricS

It’s not that I grow weary of these streets
The highways and country roads
It’s not that I can’t get into some hanging around
Yeah I just can’t stop leaving town

It’s not that I’ve been looking at my watch
The shadows that grow on the grass
It’s not that I got fearful of settling down
Yeah I just can’t stop leaving town

But oh babe, it’s lonely when I go away
But I get such an itch in my bones when I stay

It’s not that I’m not thirsty for your skin
The lines on the palm of your hand
It’s not that I just get lost so I can be found
Yeah I just can’t stop leaving town
Yeah I just can’t stop leaving town

But oh babe, there’s no need to drive me away
I get such an itch in my bones when I stay

It’s not that I’ve been wanted for a crime
At least not one that anyone knows
It’s not that I got fearful of settling down
Yeah I just can’t stop leaving town
