I feel myself descending   The way I often do    I get the feeling that there's no ending   When I can't afford to lose      So, let me pass them by   Don't try to state your case   I've had my fill of trials   And I will be on my way      Just don't leave town   When you're down, down, down   Just don't give up   On the place you've grown to love      'Cause when you turn your back   Bad feelings attack      Come on, now, we know my hands been played out   With city lights tonight, these stars just fade out   I need to stretch my legs, I need to start running   I feel it close, I feel a breakdown coming      Just don't leave town   When you're down, down, down   Just don't give up   On the place you've grown to love      'Cause when you start to pack   Bad feelings attack
