Thin Lizzy - Leave This Town текст песни

I better keep myself from being busted

I better keep myself out of jail

cause I aint got a friend to get me trusted

Thats why my mama sends my money through the mail

Ive been down on my luck

Ive been down on my wealth

Im gotta stop taking care of business

Start taking care of my health

Ive gotta leave this town

Ive gotta leave this town behind

Ive gotta leave this town tonight

Well I set off down the main street

With such a long, long way to go

But before I started I was cornered on the corner

Still waiting for my sugar to show

Ive been down on my luck

Ive been down on my wealth

Ive gotta stop taking care of somebodys elses business

Start taking care of myself

Ive gotta leave this town

Ive gotta leave this town behind

Ive gotta leave this town tonight

I was fooling around with the sheriffs daughter

She was a real fine fox

But the sheriff he came after

And threatened to lock me in a cell box

He showed me his magnum

He showed me his shotgun

He stuck it in my face

And said, "boy, I think you best be gone"

Ive gotta leave this town

Ive gotta leave this town behind

Ive gotta leave this town tonight
