The road is long
The trees are orange and brown
I'm not afraid to leave this goddamn town
I've had enough
I'm gone, I won't look back
I walk awhile, along the rail road track

I'm obliged to you babe, but this place you see, is trying to hold me down
I want more than you can offer (hold me down)
I am off to anywhere but here (hold me down)
I keep walking so nobody can hold me down

The others, beware of what they say
Take your pill, and remember to pray
I've had enough
There's too much to live down
I need to break out of this goddamn town

I'm obliged to you babe, but this place you see, is trying to hold me down
I want more than you can offer (hold me down)
I am tired of all the if's and when's (hold me down)
I keep walking so nobody can hold me down

I need more than you can offer (hold me down)
I am off to anywhere but here (hold me down)
I'm still walking cause nobody can hold me down

Hold me down
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Ooh
Whoa, whoa
Ooh yeah

Yeah

I want more than you can offer
I am off to anywhere but here
I keep walking so nobody can hold me down

Hold me down
Hold me down
Hold me down
