we're going back to the town
in letters and memories
and then a pleasant town

The pain when you still lived there
and I couldn't wait
for you to get away
my heart's being pulled around
in a backward town so far away

My old school is getting drunk on the town
don't think they'll ever get out
go home just to realize
why I had to get out

The pain when you still lived there
and I couldn't wait
for you to get away
my heart's being pulled around
in a backward town so far away
so far away

Up, down in the backward town
up, down in the backward town
up, down in the backward town
up, down in the backward town

The pain when you still lived there
and I couldn't wait
for you to get away
my heart's being pulled around
in a backward town so far away

The pain when you still live there
and I couldn't wait
for you to get away
my heart's being pulled around
in a backward town so far away

so far away
so far away

Up, down in the backward town
so far away
up, down in the backward town
so far away
