Lyrics

Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus Going to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough Going where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't know You'll wind up in some factory, spend all your time, there's and nowhere left to go Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself I know it might sound strange, but I believe you'll be coming back here before too long Don't go back to Rockville (how I wish I could stay) Don't go back to Rockville (I know it's time to go) Don't go back to Rockville (how I wish I could stay) And waste another year At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend It doesn't matter if you're not here with me 'Cause it's so much easier to handle all my problems when I'm too far gone to see But something better happen soon Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back Don't go back to Rockville (how I wish I could stay) Don't go back to Rockville (I know it's time to go) Don't go back to Rockville (how I wish I could stay) And waste another year It's not as though I really need you If you were here I'd only bleed you It's just that everybody in this town only wants to put you down And that's not how it ought to be I know it might sound strange, but I believe you'll be coming back here before too long Don't go back to Rockville (how I wish I could stay) Don't go back to Rockville (I know it's time to go) Don't go back to Rockville (how I wish I could stay) And waste another year Don't go back to Rockville (how I wish I could stay) Don't go back to Rockville (I know it's time to go) Don't go back to Rockville (how I wish I could stay) And waste another year
