She don't like him talkin to blondes

Girls in town ain't used to men like john

Another waitress sets him up for free

Ain't that good lookin but he sure knows what to say

Yeah

He's got a voice like a tuxedo and pink champagne

When he speaks his heart it sounds so lonely like a leavin train

He sounds so lonely

You're one silver tongued devil









Next door neighbors since we were nine

This old mill town is in a sharp decline

Talks about leaving almost every day

It's the end of the season and there's no reason to stay

Sometimes he'd talk about a fantasy

To go off and become a famous guy

His girlfriend just had the baby and how it would break his heart

Now to leave them behind.
