가사: The Innocence Mission. Small Town Blues.

lately, the conversations drag me down
the circle full of friends just make my head spin
'round and 'round and 'round
and there's always someone waiting in the hall outside
and every time you leave, they ring the telephone line, saying:
"how's she going to make it on her own now that he's gone?"

and I can't take these small town blues
I'm tired of being lonely, living without you
and I can't take these small town blues
I'm tired of living without you

you're always far away, putting feathers in your cap
and business is good, but honey, that's not why I'm mad
there's always someone waiting on the street outside
and every time you leave, they ring the telephone line, saying:
"now's she's running on her own? he won't be home,"

and I can't take these small town blues
I'm tired of being lonely, living without you
and I can't take these small town blues
I'm tired of living without you

you know I'm tired of living without you
they're talking about you
they're saying that you've gone
tell me it's not true
I need you by my side, my side
