From the narrow streets
Of this narrow town
Where lives compete
Most let down
I'll be a fading ghost
A distant memory
Like things you fear the most
Don't ever speak of me
I'm gonna change my name
I'm gonna be a star
I'm gonna ditch the shame
Of who my parents are
And if ever if ever if ever
If ever someone asks where I've been
They'll say we never, we never, we never
We never saw the bastard again
No we never saw the bastard again
I am leaving here as fast as I can
I've seen the empty space
Behind my neighbors eyes
If you don't leave this place
Something inside you dies
I'm done eating dinner in the drive through parking lot
Listing all the things I've been called that I swear I'm not
That I swear I'm not
I swear if ever, if ever if ever
If ever someone asks where I've been
They'll say we never, we never, we never
We never saw the bastard again
Yeah if ever, if ever, if ever
If ever someone asks where I've been
They'll say we never, we never, we never
We never saw the bastard again
I am leaving here as fast as I can
Fuck this town and all the things I have been
I am leaving here as fast as I can
Of this narrow town
Where lives compete
Most let down
I'll be a fading ghost
A distant memory
Like things you fear the most
Don't ever speak of me
I'm gonna change my name
I'm gonna be a star
I'm gonna ditch the shame
Of who my parents are
And if ever if ever if ever
If ever someone asks where I've been
They'll say we never, we never, we never
We never saw the bastard again
No we never saw the bastard again
I am leaving here as fast as I can
I've seen the empty space
Behind my neighbors eyes
If you don't leave this place
Something inside you dies
I'm done eating dinner in the drive through parking lot
Listing all the things I've been called that I swear I'm not
That I swear I'm not
I swear if ever, if ever if ever
If ever someone asks where I've been
They'll say we never, we never, we never
We never saw the bastard again
Yeah if ever, if ever, if ever
If ever someone asks where I've been
They'll say we never, we never, we never
We never saw the bastard again
I am leaving here as fast as I can
Fuck this town and all the things I have been
I am leaving here as fast as I can
