Damn all these streets Damn all your faces What I had of good times Empty spaces I'm not angry, I'm not mad I just want to forget you've been there There's nothing left there I'm back by contingency do what I do and leave I get drunk before I'm going back... I get drunk before I go back to my old hometown Take it for granted When I said I'm gonna make it Time was short And you wouldn't recognize me So many got stuck and upon there's a leaf I'm a stranger Times have changed and I did not forget You've been there laughing at me I get drunk before I'm going back... I get drunk before I go back to my old hometown Damn these city lights Damn this old house What I had of worried times So many are gone and upon there's a leaf And I'm still a stranger Times, they have changed and I did not forget How to dream and how to forgive I get drunk before I'm going back... I get drunk before I go back to my old hometown I get drunk before I'm going back... I get drunk before I go back to my old hometown
