Songtext:
ain't gonna live in this old town
people try to run you down
ain't gonna live in this old town
not the place to raise a kid
not the way my mother did
ain't gonna live in this old town
when I first got to know her Millie was living
with her parents and three sisters, this is no doubt
that she felt and was moved by the greif of her parents
when we lay
(disco)
catch a ball that she threw
then she's gone and I never knew
turn around she's back again, she says that i'm her only friend
with her that's a one way street
each time she knocks me, off my feet
(strings)
there was a year that I didn't have to care
no one 'spected me to
there was a year when I didn't have to hear
no one wanted me to
(repeat)
this old man tore me apart
this old man breaks my heart
this old man tore me apart
this old man breaks my heart
people try to run you down
ain't gonna live in this old town
not the place to raise a kid
not the way my mother did
ain't gonna live in this old town
when I first got to know her Millie was living
with her parents and three sisters, this is no doubt
that she felt and was moved by the greif of her parents
when we lay
(disco)
catch a ball that she threw
then she's gone and I never knew
turn around she's back again, she says that i'm her only friend
with her that's a one way street
each time she knocks me, off my feet
(strings)
there was a year that I didn't have to care
no one 'spected me to
there was a year when I didn't have to hear
no one wanted me to
(repeat)
this old man tore me apart
this old man breaks my heart
this old man tore me apart
this old man breaks my heart
