She barely knew your name
He was just a city, she's just a dirt road
But that never meant a thing
Running from the country
She needed out, but he held that diamond ring
'Cause I can't sit, oh, I can't talk
I gotta leave this town and run to you
Curse these nights that speak your name
I gotta leave this town and come to you
Break (oh-oh-oh) this (oh-oh-oh) curse (oh-oh-oh)
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Break (oh-oh-oh) this (oh-oh-oh) curse (oh-oh-oh)
She barely knew your name
He was such a worry, no need to hurry
Those streets are slick at night
She would never listen
She left it all and headed towards the light
Oh, your eyes look tired
But love was all she knew
Screaming out in agony
She gave her life for you
'Cause I can't sit, oh, I can't talk
I gotta leave this town and run to you
Curse these nights that speak your name
I gotta leave this town and come to you
Break (oh-oh-oh) this (oh-oh-oh) curse (oh-oh-oh)
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Break (oh-oh-oh) this (oh-oh-oh) curse (oh-oh-oh)
She barely knew your name
'Cause I can't sit, oh, I can't talk
I gotta leave this town and run to you
Curse these nights that speak your name
I gotta leave this town and run to you
Break (oh-oh-oh) this (oh-oh-oh) curse (oh-oh-oh)
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Break (oh-oh-oh) this (oh-oh-oh) curse (oh-oh-oh)
She barely knew your name
