Never Leave This Town Lyrics

He sits by the supermarket with his knees beneath his coat

No money in his pockets, not a cry left in his throat.

He doesn't ask for nothing, he just sits with his head down

The same as I, he's tried and tried

But he can never leave this town

Inside there's a woman working, stacking shelves and cashing tills

She barely makes a living and the boredom nearly kills

She smokes one every morning til her feet don't touch the ground

The same as I, she's tried and tried

But she can never leave this town

Upstairs in the office there's an old boy in a tie

A young girl brings him coffee and he'd like to catch her eye

He doesn't love his family but he'd never let them down

The same as I, he's tried and tried

But he can never leave this town

You look on out the window, you see a young man off his head

He screams along the road he wishes he was dead

And though everybody hears him, no one looks around

The same as I, they try and try

But they can never leave this town
