They pay me not to come home
Keeping me stoned
I won't run away
They say it's easy to get
Stuck in this town
Just like John
You know I give it all up for the stage
They fill my cup in the cage
It's nobody's business but mine when I'm low
To hold yourself up not a crime here you know
At the end of the world
And I kick my foot at the lights
I breathe it in all night
There's a light on a canvas tree
Money from home supporting me
They pay me not to come home
I won't eat crow
I'll stay away
And though all roads will not lead you home my girl
All roads lead to the end of the world
I sewed a little luck up into the hem of my gown
The only way down from the gallows is to swing
And I wear boots instead of high heels
And the next stage that I am on it will have wheels
