Thanks to Peter and PG Music*

you can’t go back girl it’s a dead end
don’t know why the hell I ever tried
maybe I dreamed of the invitation 
or it’s another memory that lied

should’ve headed on never slowed down
now I’m a refugee in my home town

my old friends have become strangers
they’ve grown cold, dark, bitter
i see them circling their wagons
trolling me to pull that trigger
​
should’ve headed on never slowed down
now I’m a refugee in my home town

a courthouse clock with the wrong time 
store windows reflect ghosts of past 
parking meters stand like rusty sentinels 
nothing lasts nothing lasts

should’ve headed on never slowed down
now I’m a refugee in my home town
