Let 'Em Leave Lyrics

Once he turns 17

He's got it all figured out

Too bad his friends

Only hold him down

All they wanna do is settle down

In this town

They must be blind

So he'll leave them all behind

Let 'em leave this hodunk dirty town

He's handed in his broken tin foil crown

The world's too big to settle down

Once he leaves he'll never come around so he says

The city's just a big playground

Feel free to mess around

Lost in the architecture

He's free to hit the ground

All he has to do is make a friend

Who doesn't pretend

But this city's full of fleas

Self righteous thieves

Let 'em leave this hodunk dirty town

He's handed in his broken tin foil crown

The world's too big to settle down

Once he leaves he'll never come around

Let 'em leave this hodunk dirty town

He's handed in his broken tin foil crown

The world's too big to settle down

Once he leaves he'll never come around
