Small Town Heroes

She was the queen
She got all her drugs for free
She walked up to her daddy's door
He said: You don't live here anymore
She wanted love, wanted love
Oh, but she just couldn't get enough

And my man, he wanders 'round
Well, he lets all those young women down
And they say: Darling, oh, can't you stay?
But he says: Baby, already on my way
They wanted love, wanted love
Oh, but they just couldn't get enough

Well, all these people, and all these things
Now, what's the point in a wedding ring?
'Cause we might not be here when next year comes
Well, I guess you gotta watch your back and carry a gun

Oh, baby girl, where did you go?
I threw you out where the cold wind blows
Are you in Vidalia with your no-good mom?
I just couldn't watch you stick it in your arm
You wanted love, wanted love
Oh, but I just couldn't give enough

From the boogie-down to bowling green
I rode the night train to infinity
I tempted fate and I acted smart
Oh, I grew some callous on my heart
I wanted love, wanted love
Oh, but I just couldn't give enough, enough

Well, all these places, and all these towns
Now, what's the point in settling down?
'Cause we might not be here when next year comes
See, you better live it like you're on the run
