[Verse 1]Looking at your watch a third timeWaiting in the station for the busGoing to a place that's farSo far away and if that's not enoughGoing where nobody says helloThey don't talk to anybody they don't know[Verse 2]You'll wind up in some factoryThat's full-time filth and nowhere left to goWalk home to an empty houseSit around all by yourselfI know it might sound strange but I believeYou'll be coming back before too long[Chorus]Don't go back to RockvilleDon't go back to RockvilleDon't go back to RockvilleAnd waste another year[Verse 3]At night, I drink myself to sleepAnd pretend I don't care that you're not here with me'Cause it's so much easier to handleAll my problems if I'm too far out to seaBut something better happen soonOr it's gonna be too late to bring you back[Chorus]Don't go back to RockvilleDon't go back to RockvilleDon't go back to RockvilleAnd waste another year[Verse 4]It's not as though I really need youIf you were here, I'd only bleed youBut everybody else in town only wants to bring you downAnd that's not how it ought to beI know it might sound strange but I believeYou'll be coming back before too long[Chorus]Don't go back to RockvilleDon't go back to RockvilleDon't go back to RockvilleAnd waste another yearDon't go back to RockvilleDon't go back to RockvilleDon't go back to RockvilleAnd waste another year
