Looking at your watch a third time
waiting in the station for the 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 leave 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
