Even the River Runs out of This Town

[Verse 1]
I hope the skies are beautiful and blue
Wherever it is you find yourself tonight
I hope the miles help to find your smile
'Cause it's been gone a while and if I told the truth

[Chorus]
You can't blame a heart for getting broken
You can't change the color of the blues
The railroad track and the highway, I guess it's your turn now
Even the river runs out of this town

[Verse 2]
Part of me hates to see you leaving
But the bigger part's believing it's what you had to do
You can't burn bright in a town this dark
Can't hitch your wishes to a one-horse star
And I can't blame you for that

[Chorus]
You can't blame a heart for getting broken
You can't change the color of the blues
The railroad track and the highway, I guess it's your turn now
Even the river runs out of this town

[Chorus]
You can't blame a heart for getting broken
You can't change the color of the blues
The railroad track and the highway, I guess it's your turn now
Even the river runs out of this town

[Outro]
And I love you so much, I ain't asking you to stick around
Even the river runs out of this town
