Steve Earle(born January 17, 1955) is a singer-songwriterbest known for his countrymusic and rock 'n roll tinged " alt-country." He is also a published writer, a keen political activist (particularly in protesting against the death penalty in the U.S., as in his song "Ellis Unit One" from the movie Dead Man Walking), and has written and directed a play. Born in Hampton, Virginia, legend has it that a box of Texas dirt, sent by his grandfather, was brought into the delivery room, so that it could be said that the first soil Earle's feet ever touched was Texan. He moved around the U.S. with his parents, before dropping out of school in the 8th grade and heading to Houston, Texas, to explore a career in music. In 1975, he moved to Nashville and worked as a songwriter.

Another Town Lyrics
Steve Earle
One of these days when my minds made up
And Im sick and tired of hangin around
Ill be on my way in a cloud of dust
On the road to another town
Once upon a time I loved this house
Now Im thinkin bout burnin it down
And Ill be long gone when the fire burns out
On the way to another town
To see another city in another light
With my past behind me and my future bright
One of these days when Ive had enough
Buddy, you aint gonna see me around
Just as soon as I get my courage up
Gonna take it to another town
I used to walk these streets with my head held high
Now Im always lookin down at the ground
But I see my feet on the outbound side
Of a road to another town
And Im gonna tell everybody I know
Yeah Im gonna spread it around
That theres a great big world out there where I go
On the road to another town
To see another city in another light
With my past behind me and my future bright
One of these days when my minds made up
And Im sick and tired of hangin around
Ill be down that road in a cloud of dust
On the way to another town
