ย
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 anybody they don't know
ย
You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filled with nowhere left to go
ย
Walking 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
Don't go back to Rockville
ย
And waste another year
At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend I don't care that 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 see
ย
But something better happens sooner, it's gonna be too late to bring it back
ย
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, they want 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
ย
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
