This Town This Time

from Gone Gone Gone by Fred Gillen Jr

/

lyrics

With a colt 45 and death in my eyes
I’m taking back what’s mine
across these faded streets, through the haze of the summer heat
they’re gonna know I mean business this time
when you see me coming, you know you’d better run
because I’m firing long before I see the whites of your eyes
and I’ll never regret and you’ll never forget
the day I finally said goodbye

I’m leaving this town this time
And you won’t see me around this time anymore
I’m leaving this town this time
And you won’t see me at the corner bar or the grocery store

What’s a nice guy like me doing in a dump like this
I’ve been asking myself for so long now
I’ve got an ex- girlfriend everywhere I turn
I’ve got to wear a disguise to get around
the few faces I’ve seen that I want to see again
are all gone, gone, gone
I don’t know where they are or if they’ll ever come back
I’m not waiting around, I’m gonna find them

I’m leaving this town this time
And you won’t see me around this time anymore
I’m leaving this town this time
And you won’t see me at the corner bar or the grocery store

Like ten clowns packed in a Volkswagen
For so long I couldn’t find the door
Eighteen hands were blocking my way
But I’m not gonna sweat in here anymore
