disappear from your hometown

go and find the people that you know

show them all your good parts

leave town when the bad ones start to show

go and wed a woman

a pretty girl that you've never met

make sure she knows you love her well

but don't make any other promises.

the weight of lies will bring you down

and follow you to every town

cause nothing happens here that doesn't happen there

so when you run make sure you run 

to something and not away from

cause lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere.

i once heard the worse thing 

a man could do is draw a hungry crowd 

tell everyone his name, pride and confidence

but leaving out his doubt

i'm not sure i bought those words

when i was young i knew most everything

these words have never meant so much to anyone

as they now mean to me.
