You packed your things in a carpet bag

Left home 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 leavin' 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 gotta brand-new friend

For your life



You can win if you want

If you want it you will win

Oh, come 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 rollin' on

You are miles and miles from your home

But you never want to phone your home

A steady job and a nice young man

Your parents set your future plan

Rings on your fingers, paint on your toes

That's the way your story goes
