You packed your things in a carpetbag
Left and never looking back
Rings on your fingers, paint on your toes
Music wherever you go

You don't fit in a small-town world
But I feel you are the girl for me
Rings on your fingers, paint on your toes
You're leaving town where nobody knows

You can win if you want
If you want it, you will win
On your way you will see
That life is more than fantasy
Take my hand follow me
Oh, you've got a brand new friend
For your life

You can win if you want
If you want it, you will win [bad word] on take a chance
For a brand new wild romance
Take my hand for the night
And your feelings will be right
Hold me tight

Oh, darkness finds you on your own
Endless highways keep on rolling on
You're miles and miles from your home
But you never want to phone your home

steady job and a nice young man
Your parents had your future planned
Rings on your fingers, paint on your toes
That's the way your story goes
