Small Town Heroes Songtext

von Hurray for the Riff Raff

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, she wanted love
Oh, but she just couldn't get enough, 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, I'm already on my way"
They wanted love, wanted love
Oh, but they just couldn't get enough, 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, enough

From the boogie-down to Bowling Green
I rode the night train to infinity
Well, I tempted fate and I acted smart
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, yeah, all these towns
Now what's the point in settling down?
'Cause we might not be here when next year comes
So you better live it like you're on the run
