Old Town Road
Leo Lyrics

There’s no one, in this old town
There is a profound lack of trustworthy individuals in this small, familiar community

That I can turn to, since Poncho bit the dust
Since Poncho's demise, there is no longer anyone available for me to seek solace or guidance from

That I can turn to, where I can place my trust
There is nowhere or no one in this town that I can confide in and rely on wholeheartedly

It’s full of cheaters, petty dealers
This town is saturated with dishonest individuals who engage in deceitful practices for personal gain, no matter how insignificant

And to tell the truth, I was always one too
In all honesty, I must admit that I myself have also been guilty of engaging in similar deceptive behavior

Car is falling down, just got a room in town
My vehicle is deteriorating, and as a result, I recently obtained accommodation within the boundaries of this town

And somehow, friends don't come around no more
Strangely, my friends no longer visit or spend time with me like they used to

So I take what I give and give what I take
In my circumstances, I reciprocate the same actions and offerings that I receive from others

And hope and pray, that's the way, its gonna work out
With a combination of optimism and supplication, I anticipate that this method will ultimately lead to a positive outcome

That I can turn to, to tell the truth
I yearn for someone in this town whom I can confide in and share my genuine feelings and experiences with

That I can turn to, and you know how it hurts
It brings great pain and distress to not have someone in this town who empathizes and understands my emotions

It’s full of schemers, pretty dreamers
This town is populated by individuals who devise cunning plans and harbor impractical fantasies

But I’ve had my share, of loving without care
Nevertheless, I have experienced my fair portion of engaging in passionate relationships without considering the consequences

Lost my fancy house, all that money
I have faced the unfortunate loss of my extravagant residence and all the wealth I once possessed

I ain’t got a dime, to call the latest honey
Currently, I lack the financial means to contact and pursue a romantic interest

I just take what I give, and give what I take
I adhere to a cycle in which I receive and reciprocate actions, hoping that this approach will yield favorable outcomes

And hope and pray, that's the way, its gonna work out
I cling to the belief that through hopeful anticipation and devout prayers, this method will eventually lead to a positive resolution

That I can turn to, any more
Unfortunately, there is currently no one in this town who I can seek support or guidance from anymore

That I can turn to, if you walk out the door
If you, the significant person in my life, were to leave me, there would be no one left in this town whom I can confide in or rely on

Lost my loving wife, a newborn son
I have experienced the heart-wrenching loss of both my beloved wife and our recently born child

A job stole my dreams, it’s got the best of me
A particular occupation has not only hindered but also completely overshadowed the realization of my aspirations, resulting in my current state of defeat

In my younger days, I had different ways
During my earlier years, I possessed a distinctive lifestyle and mindset

Now I’m on the run, my life is almost done
Presently, I am in a constant state of fleeing and evading, as my existence is nearing its conclusion

So I take what I give, and give what I take
Given the circumstances, I continue to reciprocate actions and offerings, hoping that this cyclical approach will yield some sort of resolution

It seems to be the only way it ever really works out
This seems to be the sole method through which situations and circumstances tend to unfold and reach a semblance of resolution

Cause there’s no one, in this old town, that I can turn to
The stark reality remains that there is genuinely no one in this familiar town whom I can seek solace, advice, or refuge from

And to tell the truth, you know I’m no one without you
Honestly speaking, without your presence and companionship, I am utterly insignificant and bereft of value
