Well, I'm about to leave this town
Ain't done with the foolin' around
Ain't nothin, oh nothin' can hold me down
When the train hits the station
I'll be standin' by the bench
There will be nothin, oh nothin' can push me back
You know I'm in love with the city
Though it's pretty far from where I stay
But there will be nothin, oh nothin' that drags me away
And if you call, call my name
When you feel your heart in pain
Remember there's nothin, oh nothin' can break our chain
Well, I'm surrounded by colored houses
And there's a river passin' me by
But nothin, oh nothin' can take the tear from my eye
Well, I'm about to leave this town
Ain't done with the ramblin' around
There ain't nothin, oh nothin' can hold me down
