Living in a town that's on the brink of being a city Won't satisfy my soul though the women may be pretty My mind is made up I have had enough I'm leaving here today Shops, walls, pavements, streets Is all that I could find From head to foot and toe to eye I looked till I was blind No matter what turns up I'm leaving here This place ain't good enough You might think that I'm being funny Just 'cause I won't spend my money here Well let me tell you I have no objection Except that I can find correction Everywhere I go Jump high in the sky unless you're feeling bitter About walking down an empty street With gutters full of litter My mind is made up I have had enough I'm leaving here today, hey, hey I'm going away You might think that I'm being funny Just 'cause I won't spend my money here Well let me tell you I have no objection Except that I can find correction Everywhere I go jump high in the sky unless you're feeling bitter About walking down an empty street With gutters full of litter My mind is made up I have had enough I'm leaving here today, hey, hey My mind is made up I have had enough I'm leaving right away, hey, hey I'm going away Getting out of this place I know I've said it before But this time I mean it I'm leaving Packing my bags and going away Getting out of this place
Everybody's Out Of Town Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David Performer(s): B.J. Thomas
Where have the people gone Seems like there's no one hangin' on Look through the window The houses are empty Hey, everybody's out of town Seems like I'm the only one around
All of the streets are bare No traffic tie-ups anywhere Don't have to wait for a seat at the movie Hey, everybody's out of town Seems like, I'm the only one around
Everyone's moved out From the ghetto Lots of space Empty apartments No more pollution Plenty of classrooms everyplace And it looks like we're ready To give it one more try This time there'll be no alibi I'm gonna send out a message to Noah Hey, better send some people down Everyone on earth Is out of town

Tried so hard each time, each time I just can't make it Feelin' fast vibrations and I just can't take it Living from day to day, chasing the dream I'm, I'm leavin'

Everybody's On Their Way To Jersey Composer(s): Garfield Kilgour; Harry Akst; Lou Handman
There's a certain little State No one thought was up to date Jokes about it made a lot of fun But folks are getting hunches Going there in bunches A mighty mob has started on the run Tho' small in size that state is wise nobody hesitates It's population soon will be the whole United States
People living there are fine Each one has a friend named "Stein" Anderson had better watch his step The cops are in a fury Each kitchen is a brewery They brew those hops that fill you full of pep From California Massachusetts, people far and near A train they take to join the wake, and gather 'round the 'bier'
Everybody's on their way to Jersey Everybody's going there to stay And it's not the air That they're going over there There is something doing something brewing OH! BOY! buckets of joy Three and a half percent in dear old Jersey Is not the dividends the bankers pay Just hop on a train and tell the man that you want to go where they rush the can For everybody's on their way to Jersey
