just one more winter in this old town
then i'll be on my way
i've seen the tail drag the dog around
the night break the day
i'm gonna strike it lucky on a cash machine
buy me a house on easy street
cos here's what happens when you stay too long
the place you hate is the place where you belong
my grandaddy worked in the marketplace
my dad, he worked there too
now they've knocked it down for a carpark space
so i don't know what i will do
i'm gonna strike it lucky on a cash machine
get my picture in a magazine
cos here's what happens when you stay too long
the place you hate is the place where you belong
i went and got wasted again last night
just like the night before
and if my plans don't work out right
i will waste some more
i'm gonna strike it lucky on a cash machine
fill my boots with amphetamine
cos here's what happens when you stay too long
the place you hate is the place where you belong
i know i've said it a hundred times
but they say that talk is cheap
sometimes i think i've lost my mind
sometimes i disagree
i'm gonna strike it lucky on a cash machine
leave this place in a limousine
cos here's what happens when you stay too long
the place you hate is the place where you belong
running out of time and cigarettes
running out of money too
sometimes i feel like a silhouette
that you can see right thru
i'm gonna strike it lucky on a cash machine
douse this town in kerosene
cos here's what happens when you stay too long
the place you hate is the place where you belong
and i've seen the tail drag the dog around
the night break the day
just one more winter in this old town
then i'll be on my way
