Looking at your watch a third time
Waiting in the station for a bus

Going to a place that's far, so far away
And if that's not enough

Going where nobody says hello
They don't talk to anybody they don't know

You'll wind up in some factory
That's full time filth and nowhere left to go

Walk home 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 if you're not here with me

Cause it's so much easier to handle
All my problems if I'm too far out to sea

But something better happen soon
Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back

Don't go back to Rockville, don't go back to Rockville

Don't go back to Rockville and waste another year

It's not as though I really need you

If you were here, I'd only bleed you

But everybody else in town
Only wants to bring you down
And that's not how it ought to be

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

Don't go back to Rockville, don't go back to Rockville

Don't go back to Rockville and waste another year
