Lyrics
0:22It was a kind of town edge of the universe
0:27Nothin happened there to ever make the news
0:32Lived a little boy and a girl next door
0:36Had opinions and independent views
0:41They dreamed of nights and big city lights
0:47It helped to kill each dreary day
0:51And all the things that gettin out would bring
0:56If only they could get away
1:01He say
1:04I can't hold on cause i'm feelin strong
1:13But theres so many things i'm not knowing
1:33But the city light didnt burn so bright
1:38And the light of day was never warm
1:43And the little boy got into one more fight
1:48And the girl next door said i miss my home
1:53He said believe in me
1:55She said i don't know
1:58He said can't you see
2:00I can't hold on cause i'm feelin strong
2:10And theres so many things i'm not knowing
2:18And i can't hang round in this one-horse town
2:27When my souls tied down i'm for going
2:47So the little boy became a broken man
2:52With a broken face and broken dreams
2:57And the girl next door she disappeared one day
3:02And in her place
3:05Was a woman-child
3:10I can't hold on i'm not feelin strong
3:19Theres so many things that hurt me now
3:29And i can't step down from this big cold town
3:39Where my souls tied down
3:48Where my souls tied down
4:02Theres so many things i'm not knowing
4:16Where my souls tied down
4:27I can't hold on cause i'm feelin strong
4:36But theres so many things i'm not knowing
4:46I'm not knowing
It was a kind of town edge of the universe Nothin happened there to ever make the news Lived a little boy and a girl next door Had opinions and independent views They dreamed of nights and big city lights It helped to kill each dreary day And all the things that gettin out would bring If only they could get away He say I can't hold on cause i'm feelin strong But theres so many things i'm not knowing But the city light didnt burn so bright And the light of day was never warm And the little boy got into one more fight And the girl next door said i miss my home He said believe in me She said i don't know He said can't you see I can't hold on cause i'm feelin strong And theres so many things i'm not knowing And i can't hang round in this one-horse town When my souls tied down i'm for going So the little boy became a broken man With a broken face and broken dreams And the girl next door she disappeared one day And in her place Was a woman-child I can't hold on i'm not feelin strong Theres so many things that hurt me now And i can't step down from this big cold town Where my souls tied down Where my souls tied down Theres so many things i'm not knowing Where my souls tied down I can't hold on cause i'm feelin strong But theres so many things i'm not knowing I'm not knowing
