I'm Gonna Divorce This Town

© 2015 Mark Cote

it always felt wrong
I never belonged
though where I was born
my heart longs for more
passive aggressive gets me down
I'm gonna divorce this town

if I can ever escape
ever get away
no rear view mirror
my future looks clearer
than oppressed depressed silent sounds
I'm gonna divorce this town

(chorus) this town
                  this one horse town
                  before the sun goes down
                  I'm gonna divorce this town
                  this town
                  this one horse town
                  you can place your bets
                  I won't regret
                  I'm gonna divorce this town

there's nothing to do
hoots the owl
they roll up the streets
when the sun goes down
when you live in nothing
nothing's all you find
but it won't get me down
I'm gonna divorce this town

(chorus)
(instrumental)

keep dreams to yourself
not say how you feel
it's not for me
the way of life they lead
in alcohol sorrows drown
I'm gonna divorce this town
