Save me from this bleeding heart    That has cursed this town right from the start   A small southern town that I love   But I need to get away from all the same   The bars are running over with sad, sad old souls   And younger bodies of the rich and poor among us   I'm tired of playing this role      Won't you rescue me?    I feel like I am drowning in an ocean      Oh, you left me screamin' like an ocean   Ocean, oh, you left me screamin' like an ocean   Ocean, oh, you left me screamin' like an ocean   Ocean, oh, you left me screamin' like an ocean liner      So you're takin' the train to Chicago away from this heartache   That always follows me wherever I go   In this little world everyone seems to know my business but me   Me, I'm longin' for the city lights   No matter how lonely it seems    Sometimes I rest my head and dream    That you came and swept me away   From the balance      I'm always hanging in an ocean      Oh, you left me screamin' like an ocean   Ocean, oh, you left me swimming in an ocean   Ocean, oh, you left me screamin' like an ocean   Ocean, oh, you left me swimming in an ocean      Would you rescue me?   I feel like I am drowning in an ocean      Oh, you left me screamin' like an ocean   Ocean, oh, you left me swimming in an ocean   Ocean, oh, you left me screamin' like an ocean   Ocean, oh, you left me screamin' like an ocean
