Leave This Town (Chris Hillman/ Bill Wildes)


Diamonds are so pretty, rubies are so red
My baby's gone and left me, she's made another's bed
I can't believe this misery, sneaks up on you real slow
If she's the one in trouble why's it me that has to go

I don't wanna leave this town
I'm not the one to blame
Leaving all my friends behind
In sorrow and shame

I thought that we were happy, I thought our love was true
A better life you couldn't find. speak on like lovers do
Taken by the devil to another man's arms
Held captive by his richness and shackled by his charms

I don't wanna leave this town
I don't wanna know
Leaving all my friends behind
I don't wanna go

I can't pretend, love's lost again
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
It's just breakin' my heart in two

Oh, I don't wanna leave this town
I'm not the one to blame
Leaving all my friends behind
In sorrow and shame

I can't pretend, love's lost again
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
It's just breakin' my heart in two

No, I don't wanna leave this town
I don't wanna go
Leaving all my friends behind
I don't wanna know

I don't wanna leave this town
I don't wanna know
Leaving all my friends behind
I don't wanna go
