Lyrics:

[English]

Da-da-da-da-da da, da-da-da-da, da

Da-da-da-da-da da da da

Let's go

...

It's not easy making a name for yourself

Where do you draw the line?

I never thought I'd be in this far

Let's have some fun and never change up for anyone

Try not to miss me when I'm gone

Woah, oh, woah, oh

I sold my soul to the open road

I'll live my life alone

You won't find me in the same spot, believe me

I could never stop, my life's turned upside down

Meet me out past those train tracks

I'm leaving and not coming back

You're right and I was wrong

This town will be the downfall of us all

...

I'm gonna need you to try to follow along

I did the best that I could to try to write you songs

Now go tell them we sold out, like we're the ones who changed

I write what I feel, I say what I mean, you can't buy sincerity

Woah, oh, woah, oh

I sold my soul to the open road

I'll live my life alone

You won't find me in the same spot, believe me

I could never stop, my life's turned upside down

Meet me out past those train tracks

I'm leaving and not coming back

You're right and I was wrong

This town will be the downfall of us all

...

Don't forget yourselves, we made up our minds

Yeah, we signed three, four, five on that dotted line

Don't forget yourselves, we made up our minds

Yeah, we signed three, four, five on that dotted line

You won't find me in the same spot, believe me

I could never stop, my life's turned upside down

Meet me out past those train tracks

I'm leaving and not coming back

You're right and I was wrong

You won't find me in the same spot, believe me

I could never stop, my life's turned upside down

Meet me out past those train tracks

I'm leaving and not coming back

You're right and I was wrong

This town will be the downfall of us all

This town will be the downfall of us all

Downfall of us all

Downfall of us all

Downfall of us all

Downfall of us all

...
