Highway 19
Come into town
First you see me
A girl halfway through 17
Not like a girl from the magazine
But a girl with auburn hair
Skin, quite fair
Brown eyes, coffee with cream
You go around this town
Just like it was a merry go round
You all say ¨we hate it here¨
But lucky you, you're leaving here
But when you come back and you wanna find me
Follow highway 19
After you've been here awhile there ain't no possible way, you could ever get lost
If you do find that old highway running straight through town
You go around this town
Just like it was a merry go round
You all say ¨we hate it here¨
But lucky you, you're leaving here
But when you come back and you wanna find me
Follow highway 19
Wasting time around here takes a long time unless you know what to do:
Go down to the Jaycee park, nail the batting cage with a left-handed pitch
Church starts at 8 oçlock be an altar server for awhile
Help out at the library, label and categorize our Czech itinerary
Or be a Lonsdale Ambassador
You go around this town
Just like it was a merry go round
You all say ¨we hate it here¨
But lucky you, you're leaving here
But when you come back and you wanna find me
Follow highway 19
Those of us from around here may say, ¨we hate it here¨
Really though to tell the truth, we love it
It’s a part of us, it what made us ‘us’
I wouldn’t change it or me for all the money in the world
So you go around this town
Just like it was a merry go round
You all say ¨we hate it here¨
But lucky for us, you're leaving here
But when you come back and you wanna find me
Follow highway 19
Follow highway 19….
