We Don't Live There

The dogs would starve and the kids would howl

And we'd all stay drunk and bored

Seems much worse when I look back now

We don't live there anymore

We don't live there anymore

The trees turn red and the streets seem dead

As we lie there on the floor

I don't forget but I don't regret

We don't live there anymore

We don't live there anymore

And you said as you were leaving

Hope you never have a reason

To come back to this dirty street again

The heroes burned and the tides were turned

In the great contagious war

But we all had guns and we all had fun

We don't live there anymore

We don't live there anymore

The flags were flown and we all came home

And we all stayed drunk and bored

We did not cry and we did not die

We don't live there anymore

We don't live there anymore

Sometimes you still cross my mind

Sometimes you still cross my mind

Sometimes

And you said as you were leaving

Hope you never have a reason

To come back to this dirty street again

The dogs would starve and the kids would howl

And we'd all stay drunk and bored

Seems much worse when I look back now

We don't live there anymore

We don't live there anymore

Don't live there anymore

We don't live there anymore
