lyrics

This town has got one traffic light
It's always stuck on red
I've packed my suitcase every night
And slid it 'neath the bed

Mama says they all come back
She's keeping supper warm
Honey, check the almanac
I'm leaving like a storm

Watch me go, watch me go
In heels too high for this old town
Watch me go, watch me go
I'm done being toned down
Watch me go, watch me go
I'll wave from every silver screen
Watch me go, watch me go
That exit sign's my favorite green

The diner keeps my order hot
The choir keeps my key
This town gave everything it's got
It just ain't built for me

One day they'll put my picture up
At the diner by the till
"She used to drink from this chipped cup"
God willing, yes they will

Watch me go, watch me go
That exit sign's my favorite green
Gone, gone, gone
Prettiest green I've ever seen
