Leave This Town

Desert Rose Band

Diamonds are so pretty,

Rubies are so red

My baby's gone and left me,

She's made another's bed

I can't believe this misery,

Sneaks up on you real slow

If she's the one in trouble

Why's it me that has to go



I don't wanna leave this town

I'm not the one to blame

Leaving all my friends behind

In sorrow and shame



I thought that we were happy,

I thought our love was true

A better life you couldn't find

Speak on like lovers do

Taken by the devil

To another man's arms

Held captive by his richness

And shackled by his charms



I don't wanna leave this town

I don't wanna know

Leaving all my friends behind

I don't wanna go



I can't pretend, love's lost again

And I don't know what I'm gonna do

It's just breakin' my heart in two



Oh, I don't wanna leave this town

I'm not the one to blame

Leaving all my friends behind

In sorrow and shame



I can't pretend, love's lost again

And I don't know what I'm gonna do

It's just breakin' my heart in two



No, I don't wanna leave this town

I don't wanna go

Leaving all my friends behind

I don't wanna know



I don't wanna leave this town

I don't wanna know

Leaving all my friends behind

I don't wanna go
