Lately I've been talking to myself
Counting pennies on the floor, nobody owes more (nobody owes more)
I take them all to a man down the road
He can get me my fix when I feel real low
Cause I've been here in Laney, Indiana
For far too long, never left the first stanza (left the first stanza)
Then I saw her with her head in the clouds
I said, "Damn, girl, this is Laney, not the good part of town
"Cause here, Everything planned always falls on through
And the things you own end up owning you (owning you)
So where you running, where you going from here
With a bag and a coat, playing songs in your ears?"
She said, "Let me tell you about a place I know
You don't need no money, just take it real slow" (take it real slow)
I told her softly, just as sweet as I could
"I never left that place, honey, and I ain't doing too good"
So, come with me baby, run with me darling
And let's get outta town, before it's too late for me and you now
Cause I burn and I tremble, then turn to the bottle
Cause I can't help myself nomore, and I know well, ah Lord, this is killing me

And let's get outta town, before it's too late for me and you now
Cause the bottle won't give me what I need
Cigarettes take the breath away from me
But Oh God, I know nothing's gonna change now
I keep on going back to Laney, Indiana
Can't stop looking back, but I know it doesn't matter
Cause I ain't coming back from Laney, Indiana
Now, now, now, now, oh oh oh oh
I keep on going back to Laney, Indiana
Can't stop looking back, but I know it doesn't matter
Cause I ain't coming back from Laney, Indiana
Now, now, now, now, oh oh oh oh
