I Just Can’t Stop Leaving Town

It's not that I grow weary of these streets
The highways and country roads
It's not that I can't get in some hanging around
Yeah, I just can't stop leaving town

It's not that I've been looking at my watch
Or shadows that grow on the grass
It's not that I've got fearful of settling down
Yeah, I just can't stop leaving town

And oh, babe, it's lonely when I go away
And I get such an itch in my bones and I stay

It's not that I'm not thirsty for your skin
The lines on the palm of your hand
It's not that I just get lost, so I can be found
Yeah, I just can't stop leaving town
Yeah, I just can't stop leaving town

And oh, babe, there's no need to drive me away
And I get such an itch in my bones and I stay

It's not that I've been wanted for a crime
At least not one that anyone knows
It's not that I've got fear of settling down
Yeah, I just can't stop leaving town
