This Town's a Drag
cordovas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to leave this place
I want to leave this town
I jump on my bike and have a look around
I see nobody here
I see nobody there
Looking for some new faces but I don't know where

Could even ride a day
But this time I'm gonna ride far away

So I take my bag
And pack my shoes
I'll carry a t-shirt and some records of blues
At seven start on the road
Leading me west
I don't care at all because I'm searching the best

Yes I feel it, today it's quite hot
But this time I wanna have fun a lot

But when I'm traveling abroad
I see your image on the road
Perhaps I'm tired I've got to stop
Now I realize what I've got
It's only that I need you a lot, baby

No, I don't want
Don't wanna care about it
I just wanna to drink and something to eat
I still remember that girl
Can't believe in it
Wow it's not too serious, not for a person like me

Still a long way to go
A never ending road

But when I'm travelling abroad
I see your image on the road
Perhaps I'm tired I've got to stop
Now I realize what I've got
That's only that I need you a lot, baby

I still remember that girl
Oh my god
I've got to return
I've got to return home
But, but where am I?
Where am I?
Oh my God




Ehm excuse me sir can you tell me the way to my home please?
Ahh what a mess

I can't believe this song ain't got over 1 million hits. I wish that songs like this could be heard played and enjoyed by a huge portion of music lovers .. they couldn't help but be moved and improved by it

@lemon1peach2mango3

Amen Brother! What a fantastic display of artistry! Writing, rhythm, rocking... really enjoyed!

@rightoffsaurus

Heard this while on hold with T-Mobile, trying to get a refund. That call was a drag but finding this song was a delight!

@lennonlarson56

How does this song only have under 1,000 views & it's close to one week old. I have a feeling that'll change. Timeless type of song

@TeamSneakBE

Crazy that this has 40k views. I think this song is amazing đź‘Ź

@travisshores4917

I dig this. I’d play in this band readily.

@rickrobertbob

If this band doesn't blow up, maybe I have bad taste in music. But I don't think I do. Maybe everyone feels that way.

@grapevinesteve

I pre-ordered the album after seeing them recently at Maverick Fest in the UK. They made my 64 year-old heart dance ! Awesome band with ALL the right influences.
