Lookin' at your watch a third time,
waitin' in the station for the bus
Goin' to a place that's far, so far away,
and if that's not enough
You'll wind up in some factory
that's full -time filled with
nowhere left to go
Welcome to an empty house,
sit around all by yourself
I know it might sound strange
but I believe you'll be coming
back before too long
Don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville
And waste another year
At night I drink myself to sleep
and pretend I don't care that
you're not here with me
Is it so much easier to
handle all my problems
if I'm too far out to see?
And something better hap
pens sooner,
it's gonna be too late to
worry about.
Don't go back to Rockville,
Don't go back to Rockville,
Don't go back to Rockville,
It's not as though I really need you
If you were here,
I'd only bleed you
Everybody else in town
Only wants to bring you down
It's not how it ought to be
I know it might sound strange
But I believe in
the coming back
before too long
Don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville
Waste another year
Don't go back to Rockville
Don't go back to Rockville
Go, go back to Rockville
