[Verse 1]
Walking up and down
A hall in Chinatown
And your voice was getting loud
I said, "Let's take a break now"
It took me a million

I said, "There's a million
Reasons for our distance"
[Chorus]
I don't wanna live in this town
I'll be on the next train out
You don't need to track me down
'Cause anywhere the wind blows
That's the way that I'll go (I'll go)
[Verse 3]
We've been wasting time
Gettin' wasted every night
Now my eyes are open wide
Blinded by street lights
There must be a reason
I'm changing with the season
[Chorus]
I don't wanna live in this town
I'll be on the next train out
You don't need to track me down
'Cause anywhere the wind blows
That's the way that I'll go (I'll go)
