In that mean old harbor town, where they tried to do me in
For something I haven't done, for someone I'd never been
I'd been the flavor of the month, a flavor not too many share
I heard a nightbird weep a song, couldn't help to weep along
Let's fill that barn with gasoline, set off for some money inshore
Not much left to keep me here, now I won't look back no more
Believed too long in what they said, this time I'll listen to my heart
Remember my friend Grigory
They say you can't always run away and make a brand new start
I walked in with my worn out shoes, didn't know just what I'd found
Shook some hands and played my blues, to a small and polite bar crowd
The last of the trash folk gentlemen
Can open up the door, open up the door
Open up, closed up heart
Fought back tears all through my smiles
Well something sure did light up a spark
Let's fill that van with our guitars
Fill it with records too
We can drive near, oh way out far
All underneath the sun and the moon
Believed too long in what they said
This time I'll listen to my heart
I do
You'll believe it when you sing
You can always run away and make a brand new start
Bill take that little handshake
For that's all that you will get around here
There will be no heartbreak
No pity
In this god-forsaken town
Well shed a tear
Let's fill it up with gasoline
Set out for some unknown shore
Come on let's feed that old machine
Let us don't look back no more
Believed too long in all their lies
All that stupid love
This time we'll listen to our heart
This time we'll run away and make a brand new start
This time we'll run away and make a brand new start
This time we'll run away and make a brand new start
