ANYTHING LEAVING TOWN TODAY
(Tom T. Hall / Dave Dudley)

Dave Dudley 1967
Red Sovine - 1967



There are places I would like to see, I know
But not the place where you told me to go
So anything that moves will be okay
I'll take anything leavin' town today

You may think that I'm jokin' when I'm talkin'
But to get away from you I may try walkin'
I want somethin' that's movin' right away
I'll take anything leavin' town today

Anything leavin' town today
I've got a sudden urge to get away
I'd like to cut my time of waitin' down
But I know there ain't no airport in this little bitty town

Don't think I'm leavin' just for what I think of you
But I'd even crawl not knowin' where I'm crawlin' to
Don't think it has, it hasn't, leave it lay
I'll take anything leavin' town today

Anything leavin' town today
I've got a sudden urge to get away
I'd like to cut my time of waitin' down
But I know there ain't no airport in this little bitty town

Don't think I'm leavin' just for what I think of you
But I'd even crawl not knowin' where I'm crawlin' to
Don't think it has, it hasn't, leave it lay
I'll take anything leavin' town today

Think I'll put'er in commence gear and skat on outta here
I'm leavin', it's over
