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
