[Verse 1]
Along came a playboy
Your heart he did steal
I'm gonna sit down tonight and the letter I'll write
Will let you know just how I feel

[Chorus]
(Got) I've got to get away from this old town
It only makes me feel low down
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 2]
Ever since he's been here, I've been blue
Everything I see here reminds me of you
All these lights of the city are very pretty
They depress me and make me blue
They sparkle like your eyеs, make me realizе
That I need to be with you

[Chorus]
(Got) I've got to get away from this old town
Loneliness always comes around
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 3]
'Cause walking or talking, no matter what I do
The sights that surround me remind me of you
Walk into the park, I see lovers in the dark
That was my dream of me and you
It really hurts me so now that I know
It's a dream that can never come true
[Bridge]
I've got to get away
(Hang back, you're 'posed to stay)

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
I've got a good job here, I make good pay
But money doesn't matter since he took you away
(Gotta get away, gotta get away, gotta get away, gotta get away from this old town)
I've gotta get away from this old town, gotta get away
(Gotta get away, gotta get away, gotta get away, gotta get away from this old town)
Gotta get away from this old town, gotta get away
(Gotta get away, gotta get away, gotta get away, gotta get away from this old town)
Gotta get away
