lyrics

This isn’t the first time
You've spent your last dime
On some dollar wine

You go where the wind blows
Drifting like a shadow
Across the county line

And now you’re on your own in the town that you grew up in
Where a cold wind blows fallen leaves through empty homes
And the only sound you hear, is that whisper in your ear
“The king of autumn leaves has claimed his throne"
You never felt better

Love was everlasting
At least ‘till refinancing
Then you kissed love goodbye

But you kept your composure
At least until foreclosure
They repossessed your pride

And now you’re on your own in the town that you grew up in
Where a cold wind blows fallen leaves through empty homes
And the only sound you hear, is that whisper in your ear
“The king of autumn leaves has claimed his throne"
You never felt better

Once a proud part of the company
Once a proud leaf on the family tree
You’d seen that there tough times in the news
But you never thought that one day they would come for you

You’ve never felt better

And now you’re on your own in the town that you grew up in
Where a cold wind blows fallen leaves through empty homes
And the only sound you hear, is that whisper in your ear
“The king of autumn leaves has claimed his throne"
You never felt better
