Please, save me now I'm never gonna leave this town I'll hang around 'Til all the buildings crumble down Stacking up my dreams inside I watch another train go by Can't find my ticket to ride He was a good guy, bad lie, king of con artists I think of those days with my heart in the harness And you can presume that he was groomed to bloom Assumed his doom and lacked in the cash to move He was my broken Caddy Daddy, stranger danger savvy Killed my innocent first love when it ended badly Three years and the grand finale He called me drunk one night from his bachelor party Said: I get married tomorrow. How are you doing? Said: I'm packing my baggage because my dreams are pursuing He said: I'm glad that you're happy. I'm starting a family But maybe someday we could hook up in Miami Please, save me now I'm never gonna leave this town I'll hang around 'Til all the buildings crumble down Stacking up my dreams inside I watch another train go by Can't find my ticket to ride Sometimes a wrong feels right, and damn, the shit's vicious A minute there, I thought love was fictitious Like he was the one, I thought my life was done I dropped the gun, broke out and began to run I had no friends to carry me, my family scaring me I felt the call of the city was daring me To let it all go and forget the face They probably tuned in for my rise to fame He could be polishing tractors, I'm X-ing my factors He could've come with if he had the adapters I wish that I could've saved him or made my amends But I don't really need it, don't read it if you know how it ends Please, save me now I'm never gonna leave this town I'll hang around 'Til all the buildings crumble down Stacking up my dreams inside I watch another train go by Can't find my ticket to ride When the train come 'round don't skip the tracks Don't let nobody hold you back Just ride, ride! When the train come 'round don't skip the tracks Don't let nobody hold you back Just ride, ride! Please, save me now (save me) I'm never gonna leave this town (I'm never gonna leave) I'll hang around (I'll hang around) 'Til all the buildings crumble down Stacking up my dreams inside (Stacking up my dreams inside) I watch another train go by (hey!)
