There's a town out there I spent a little time,
I almost didn't make it out alive
But since I did I thought I'd write a song,
About the things I saw while I was there

Well I saw a lot of people, but they all looked the same,
They had the same clothes, they had the same name
Oh, I took off runnin' right out of that town,
Hope I never have to go back again

Chorus:
I won't tell ya just where it is,
Case I ever have to go back again
But you're going to know it, if you ever pass through,
Provided that they let you in

Well the moms and the dads they drove the same cars,
They had the same jobs and the didn't think alot
And if I didn't think I'd get in trouble with the law,
Tell ya I'd have laughed out loud

Kids got the same grades, the wore they same shoes
Struttin' in maroon velcro kangaroos,
Which I liked enough, I tried to get a pair
But they didn't have any to spare

Chorus

I could tell right away I wouldn't fit in
Had the right color eyes and the right color skin
But I didn't know the work or the magic word,
And I think they knew that I smoked a bit from time to time

Chorus
