Small Town Sunday Night (Liars Edge)
​
Well it’s a small town Sunday night
Six hours from the city but a world away
It's a small town Sunday night
The kids are going crazy to escape today
Well its a small town Sunday night
Same old conversations in the same old bars
About small town Sunday life
Gazing from the gutter at the distant stars
Tell me what you’re going to do
How you’re going to make the break for somewhere new
Say you’ll never settle down
Got to get out of this town
Tell me what you’re going to be
Tell me how and when - And who you’re going to see
Say you got to get away
Can’t stay here another day
And maybe tonight
You’ll be telling me you’re going to change the world
And maybe tomorrow
You’ll just be living the same life
Get up and get it together
Hey don’t want to sit and dream away your days
Waken up to the new world
And take control of your own life
Well it’s a small town Sunday night
And Mary’s lying dreaming she’s in Hollywood
In her small town Sunday life
She’s going to make LA - She’s going to make it good
Yeah it’s a small town Sunday night
Now Mary’s got a baby and she’s seventeen
In her small town Sunday life
Guess she’ll just forget about the silver screen
You know that anyone can say
How they’re going to live their life a different way
Not an easy thing to do
To walk away from all you knew
And all too often so its seems
We just settle on a price and sell our dreams
Scared to look outside the door
In case we find there might be more
And maybe tonight
You’ll be telling me you’re going to change the world
And maybe tomorrow
You’ll just be living the same life
Get up and get it together
Hey don’t want to sit and dream away your days
Waken up to the new world
And take control of your own life (2)
Don’t have to wait until tomorrow
Don’t have to wait until tomorrow just to get outside
Don’t have to wait until tomorrow
To take control of your own life (2)
