lyrics
VIOLET TOWN
Morning bird sings
out in the grey
above the lonely rumble
of the Hume highway
I've been breaking
your golden rules
I've been swimming in circles
'round your ship of fools
I don't wanna be tied down
I'd be living in the belly of the beast
if I stick around
I don't wanna be tied down
Oh mamma I ain't never coming back
to Violet Town
All eyes on main street
oh they're looking my way
a young unmarried girl
in the family way
sets a small town talking
Oh they whisper my name
But I feel no cause
to hang my head in shame
I don't wanna be tied down
with all these hints & accusations going round
I don't wanna be tied down
Oh mamma I ain't never coming back
to Violet Town
There ain't nothing certain
in this life that we lead
but that feels doubly so
for the likes of me
Now city lights bleed
like wounds in the night
and I lay awake and listen
to the heartbeat of the baby inside
I don't wanna be tied down
I'd be living in the belly of the beast
if I stick around
I don't wanna be tied down
Oh mamma I ain't never coming back
to Violet Town
