LEAVE THIS TOWN As recorded by Thin Lizzy (From the 1981 Album RENEGADE) [Intro]      [Verse 1] I better keep myself from being busted I better keep myself out of jail ’Cause I ain’t got a friend to get me trusted That’s why my mama sends my money through the mail [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been down on my luck I’ve been down on my wealth I’m got to stop taking care of business Start taking care of my health [Chorus] I’ve got to leave this town I’ve got to leave this town I’ve got to leave this town I’ve got to leave this town behind I’ve got to leave I’ve got to leave I’ve got to leave I’ve got to leave this town tonight [Verse 2] Well I set off down the main street With such a long long way to go But before I started I was cornered on the corner Still waiting for my sugar to show [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been down on my luck I’ve been down on my wealth I’ve got to stop taking care of somebody’s else’s business Start taking care of myself [Chorus] I’ve got to leave this town I’ve got to leave this town I’ve got to leave this town I’ve got to leave this town behind I’ve got to leave I’ve got to leave I’ve got to leave I’ve got to leave this town tonight I’ve got to leave this town I’ve got to leave this town I’ve got to leave this town I’ve got to leave this town behind I’ve got to leave I’ve got to leave I’ve got to leave I’ve got to leave this town tonight [Guitar Solo]                        [Interlude] [Verse 3] I was fooling around with the sheriff’s daughter She was a real fine fox But the sheriff he came after And threatened to lock me in a cell box [Pre-Chorus] He showed me his Magnum He showed me his shotgun He shoved it in my face And said "Boy I think you best be gone" [Chorus] I’ve got to leave this town I’ve got to leave this town I’ve got to leave this town I’ve got to leave this town behind I’ve got to leave I’ve got to leave I’ve got to leave I’ve got to leave this town tonight I’ve got to leave this town I’ve got to leave this town I’ve got to leave this town I’ve got to leave this town behind I’ve got to leave I’ve got to leave I’ve got to leave I’ve got to leave this town tonight             I’ve got to leave I’ve got to leave I’ve got to leave [Outro] I better keep myself from being busted I better keep myself out of jail ’Cause I ain’t got a friend to get me trusted That’s why my mama sends my money through the mail

La chanson évoque le sentiment de vouloir fuir une vie difficile et problématique. Le narrateur exprime son désir de quitter une ville où il se sent coincé, sans amis ni soutien. Sa situation financière précaire et les menaces qu'il subit accentuent son envie de se libérer et de prendre enfin soin de lui-même, plutôt que d'être pris dans les affaires des autres. Le contexte de cette quête de liberté pourrait refléter une période de crise personnelle, où les choix du protagoniste sont influencés par des rencontres compliquées, comme celle avec la fille du shérif. Cela souligne l'urgence de sa situation et l'impératif de changer de vie pour échapper à ses ennuis.
