We were born in a dying town
Where deperate souls just hang around
Waiting for a reason to believe
The young get old and the old they stay
And slowly they just fade away
But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down
Cause I've been the loser desperate to win
And I've tasted snake oil and I've tasted sin
I've stumbled through the darkness on the outskirts of town
But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down
I met a waitress out on 95
She lived her life like throwing dice
Her habit finally took the best of her
She drew me in day by day
Yea love's a drug that's what they say
But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down
Cause I've been the loser desperate to win
And I've tasted snake oil and sin
I've stumbled through the darkness on the outskirts of town
But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down
Let it go
Let it go
You flash that shiny golden smile
You say it'll be all right in a while
But I'm not about to shake your hand
Yes I've made promises I couldn't keep
And I've lost a couple of nights of sleep
But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down
But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down
Cause I've been the loser desperate to win
And I've tasted snake oil and I've tasted sin
I've stumbled through the darkness on the outskirts of town
But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
I've stumbled through the darkness on the outskirts of town
