You packed your things in a carpetbag.
Left and never looking back.
Rings on your fingers, paint on your toes.
Music wherever you go.
You don't fit in a smalltown world.
But I feel you're the girl for me.
Rings on your fingers, paint on your toes.
You're leaving town where nobody knows.
You can win if you want.
If you want it, you will win.
On your way you will see that life is more than fantasy.
Take my hand, follow me.
Oh, you've got a brand new friend for your life.
You can win if you want.
If you want it you will win.
Oh, come on, take a chance for a brand new wild romance.
Take my hand for the night.
And your feelings will be right hold me tight.
Oh, darkness finds you on your own.
Endless highways keep on rolling on.
You're miles and miles from your home.
But you never want to phone your home.
A steady job and a nice young man.
Your parents had your future planned.
Rings on your finger, paint on your toes.
That's the way your story goes.
