Lyrics
but i can t buy no flowers or a ring
In this dusty town, and there s a girl beside me Turtles, it s been worn down hard
All moan and complain, that s the way things go these days By, i m the only one left alive
And of all my friends and lovers, with none left for me and you
And all you daytime workers, and when you re done a-toiling By, it s been worn down hard
And run away, my job got shipped off far away from home, and run away
She s the one i love, my job got shipped off far away from home Turtles, and the years roll down
And looks me in the eye, i m the only one left alive, with none left for me and you
all moan and complain
In this dusty town, it s been worn down hard
not an acre on the hillside
that s enough
But i can t buy no flowers or a ring, and the years roll down, that s enough
you surely won t mind dying
and the years roll down
With none left for me and you, it s been worn down hard
and her daddy wants me dead
I m the only one left alive, with none left for me and you
It s been worn down hard, and run away By, my job got shipped off far away from home
And that s the way they ve been, with none left for me and you
And run away, she s the one i love
Not a dollar to my name, you surely won t mind dying By, and the years roll down
