  • Just talked to this girl, used to live, yeah on my street
    After all these years you're here and you remember me
    She said her old boyfriend
    Packed up and headed back east
    But she always knew someday he would go
    She just got a new job and she doubts it will last
    So let's take a drink and never think and here's to the past
    She says it's so funny how life burns out so fast
    It's just another wasted day

    A boring life in a boring town
    In the same old crowd
    And I used to say that I'd never stay
    But I'm rotting here today
    With that same old crowd that's always been around
    And I always thought I'd be the first to go

    That same old crowd that drags me down
    Another day in a boring town
    That same old crowd that brings me down
    A boring life in a boring town

    Just talked to this girl, used to live, yeah on my street
    After all these years you're here
    And it's still just you and me
    Sometimes I can't believe after all these years
    I just think that I'll never leave here
    She said it's so funny how life burns out so fast
    So let's take another drink and here's to the past

    That same old crowd that drags me down
    Another day in a boring town
    That same old crowd that brings me down
    A boring life in a boring town

    And remember when they'd look through you
    And they'd look past me
    We were the ones they said would always leave
    So when you go just think of me
    Think of me

    A boring life in a boring town
    In the same old crowd
    And I used to say that I'd never stay
    But I'm rotting here today
    With that same old crowd that's always been around
    And I always thought that
    Yeah and I always thought that
    Yeah I'd always thought that I'd be
    The first to go

    A boring life
    A boring town
    A boring life
    A boring town
    A boring life
    And a boring town Publisher: Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd.
