Everybody's go

ne away.
              
I believe this

              
 time they're

There's not a

Everybody's le

Some caught a 

freight. Some 

caught a plane

.
              
Find the sunsh

 rain?
              
They said "Thi

              
s town will wa

             
ste your time"


.
              
I guess they'r

              
e right, it's 

        
wasting mine!

             
Some gotta win

             
! Some gotta l

  
ose!
           
 Good time Cha

Can't find a t
