Looking at your watch a third time
Waiting in the station for the bus
ย
Going to a place that's far
So far away and if that's not enough
ย
Going where nobody says hello
They don't talk to no one they don't know
ย
You'll wind up in some factory
That's full of filth and nowhere left to go
ย
Walk home to an empty house
Sit around all by yourself
ย
I know it might sound strange but I believe
You'll be coming back before too long
ย
Don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville
ย
Don't go back to Rockville
And waste another year
At night I drink myself to sleep
Pretend I don't care if you're not here with me
ย
'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
ย
Don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville
ย
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 everyone in town only wants to bring you down
And that's how it's supposed to be
I know it might sound strange but I believe
You'll be coming back before too long
ย
Don't go back to Rockville
ย
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
