Yeah you're burning Oh you're burning My ears with your travelling tales But my in-laws Oh baby, my in-laws Well they're trying to tie a young man down Oh, I never should have settled down Hanging around in a one horse town When everyone starts sleeping around Well I never should have settled down Hanging around in a one horse town When everyone starts sleeping around But this feeling Oh that I'm feeling Well you're praying at her, tear her heart So this evening Oh baby I'm leaving On a one way ticket tonight Well I never should have settled down Hanging around in a one horse town When everyone starts sleeping around Well I never should have settled down Hanging around in a one horse town When everyone starts sleeping around Well my friends they don't go settled down Hanging around in a one horse town When everyone starts sleeping around Guess I never should have settled down You see, hanging around in a one horse town Does nothing for your state of mind
