(Don't Go Back to) Rockville

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 that�s full time filth 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 before too long
Don�t go back to Rockville
Don�t go back to Rockville
Don�t go back to Rockville
And waste another year
At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
I don�t care if you�re not here with me
�Cause it�s so much easier to handle
All my problems if I�m too far out to sea
But something better happen soon

Or it�s gonna be too late to bring you back

Don�t go back to Rockville
Don�t go back to Rockville
Don�t go back to Rockville
And waste another year
It�s not as though I really need you
If you were here I�d only bleed you
But everybody else in town only wants to bring 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 before too long
Don�t go back to Rockville
Don�t go back to Rockville
Don�t go back to Rockville
And waste another year
Don�t go back to Rockville
Don�t go back to Rockville
Don�t go back to Rockville
And waste another year
