A One Story Town
Thomas Earl Petty
I'm for standin' up, I'm for breakin' free
I don't want fate handed down to me --
Yeah, I'm for movin' on, try another town
Time ain't changin' nothin', take a look around
Chorus
Oh, I'm lost in a one story town
Where everything's close to the ground
Yeah the same shit goes down
Nothing turns around
It's a one story town --
She was only seventeen
But I held her to her word
Had to push her luck
Thought she couldn't burn
No, it didn't hurt me
When she had to leave
She had a far away feeling
Wasn't part of me
(Repeat Chorus)
