You say you're all alone
So you cross to the wrong side of town
There you meet your secret lover
Here you are sippin' your wine
Dreamin' of holdin' him one more time
And we've been tied down, but not to each other
Two lovers out searching for laughter
But who was to know what would come after the laughter
Alone in my hideaway
Where dreams and memories are tucked away
I found the key my grandma had left for me
I remember what she used to say
"Faces change, but people always seem to stay the same
If you can't change the rules, get out of the game"
Two lovers out searching for laughter
But who was to know what would come after
Two lovers out searching for love
But in this town you know it never could be
So set me free
Well, I'm tired of sneakin' round this dirty old town
It's hard when people know your name
I'm gonna get on those tracks and never come back
This town will never be the same, no, no
Oh, I'm gonna blow this town someday
Oh, I'm gonna blow this town away
I'm gonna get on those tracks and never come back
This town will never be the same
Oh, this town will never be
Oh, this town will never be
This dirty old town will never be the same
Two lovers out searching for laughter
But who was to know what would come after the laughter
Two lovers out searching for laughter, yeah
But who was to know what would come after the laughter
Two lovers out searching for laughter
But who was to know what would come after the laughter
