When I first came to town
All the people gathered round
They bought me drinks
          F                          C
Lord, how quickly they changed their tune

When I first came to town
People took me round from end to end
Like someone make take round a friend
Oh how quickly they changed their tune

Suspicion and dark murmurs surround me
Everywhere I go they confound me
As though the blood on my hands
                   F          F/g
Is there for every citizen to see

    F                                   C
    Oh sweet Jesus, there is no turning back

    There is always one more town a little further down the track

And from my window, across the tracks
I watch the juicers burn their fires
And in that light their faces leer at me
How I wish they'd just let me be

When I first came to town
Their favours were for free
Now even the doors of the whores of this town
Are closed to me

I search the mirror
And I try to see
Why the people of this town
Have washed their hands of me

    Oh sweet Jesus
    There is no turning back
    There is always one more town
    A little further down the track

O Lord, every god-damn turn I take
I fear the noose, I fear the stake
For there is no bone they did not break
In all the towns I've been before

Well those that sin against me are snuffed out
I know from every day that I live
God-damn the day that I was born
The night that forced me from the womb

And god-damn this town
For I am leaving now
But one day I will return
And the people of this town will surely see
Just how quickly the tables turn

    O sweet Jesus
    This really is the end
    There is always one more town
    A little further round the bend
