Leave another, how can you go?
How can't you know, I mean, by now?
We're kids forever, ain't we though?
Ain't we so high and wild?

You say, "Oh, you'll spin your heartache into gold"
I suppose, but it rips my heart out, don't you know?
But if I'm waking each morning, babe
All aching and ornery, babe
All vacant and thorny, hej I'm down to go

The kids of summer, don't we glow?
Oh ain't we bold, just wilding out?
And hey can this kill me? Hey, I don't know
But I've been sure finding out

You say, "Oh, you'll spin this heartache into gold"
And I suppose, but it rips my heart out, don't you know?
But if I'm waking each morning, babe
All aching and ornery, babe
All vacant and thorny, no, it's time to go

Leave the city, can't we go?
Can't we though? I mean, right now
I know it's a pity, Hej, but it's getting cold
And it's getting old, this whoring around
You say, "Oh, you'll spin this heartache into gold"
And I suppose, I ain't got much choice now, do I though?
See, I can't wake every morning, babe
All aching and ornery, babe
All jaded and thorny, no, I'm down to go
