I have listened to this song at least 8 times a month for like 7 years. I don't know what it is about it. What makes it so good? Is it that it so perfectly captures that era of music? But I'm not even sure if I liked that era of music.
I first heard this song on 90s reality bites radio, but I didn`t see the song just the singer. I typed in leaving the town by dexter and nothing didn`t pop up. Seriously the searches are so precise. this is my 57th favorite song and chellidee, THE VIDEO ROOOOOOOOCKS!!!!!!!!!!
probably one of the best songs people haven't heard of - probably because of bands like NSYNC and Backstreet Boyz sucked the air out of the room when this came out...such a bad video, for such a great song.
I remember when this song first came out in 2000, the Houston rock station 94.5 The Buzz used to play it all the time. Such an awesome song, too bad they don't make songs like this. How did it not become a huge hit?
think it was 2000 this song had just came out they opened up for everlast at the newport music hall in columbus ohio and they played a good show but the crowd was really hard on them i was up front and only the singer was cool the rest of the band looked like some real turd nuggets to bad they never caught on they had catchy songs.
Ok check this out, while I was at work, I heard Papa Roach's "Forever" on Octane radio. As I heard the opening of the song, it made me remember this song. I couldn't remember the name of the song for the life of me. It pissed me off lol. Anyways, I kinda thought the begging of "Forever" sounded like this song's opening. Maybe its just me, but either way I'm glad I remembered and found this song. Thanks for the upload.
@hunk84 i've been having the same problem. my big brother had this cd when he lived with us and i used to listen to it. every time i hear that song forever on the radio, i mistake it for this song too. cool to know i'm not alone.
i was 11 years old and my family offered me 100 dollars to paint our entire basement.... i took me probably 10 days, and this was one of the main songs on the radio... i havent heard it since then... god bless alcohol
this is the most horrible video for the song... i mean seriously why is the video not of some chick packing and trying to head out of town and then running back and home and flashbacks of sitting under the stars and shit
Wow! I was digging through some old boxes today and found this CD jewel case but no CD. Couldn't remember for the life of me what their great song was. Now I wish I could find the CD. What a blast from the past. It reminded me of the more simple times in my life.
I can't agree more. I just heard the song again as iTunes Genius grabbed it, and I had a 4 minutes sing-along moment that upped my mood to a state of euphoria!

but then they will start to suck. thats always how it happens big single then they sell out. remember evanesance? they were so great then big single and now they suck
These guys are aesome live! I saw them at Slim's in SF like 9 years ago, and everyone was yelling for an encore, even though they were opening for Michelle Branch at the time.
From their Myspace pg (con't): We just signed a deal with EA Sports and Nettwerk, so they will be our partners in our future releases. Look for our songs in several new video games soon. Thx for being patient with us! More to follow soon..
From Myspace pg: Hello Everyone! I know it seems like we disappeared over the last couple yrs, but the rumors are true. We're back! A new DF album is in the works. Several new songs are almost complete. Expect a digital release early 2009! We spent the last 4 yrs just laying low & living normal lives! We played a show in Dal earlier this yr,& after that, we decided that it was time to start writing and recording again.
a friend of mine turned me onto this band years ago-great album! Fun album! I love to drive on the highway to this album. I am new to high speed internet so i finally got to see this vid-thanx for the post!
This song will always have special meaning for me. It came out right around the time I was getting out of the Army in early 2001. The day that I finally got out, I loaded up my car and began the cross country drive home, blaring this song as I sped down the highway with my windows rolled down. I truly felt like I was finally "Leaving Town." Great memories.
I love this song. It was used on the senior slideshow (pictures of the senior class throughout their lives). It fit perfectly because we're a small town school.
As long as people are still having premarital sex with many anonymous partners while at the same time experimenting with mind-expanding drugs in a consequence free environment, I'll be sound as a pound!
we played this song all the time senior year. now we've all left home and gone our seperate ways to make our lives better. one day i can imagine us going back.
i love this song so much it brings back the best memories ever since i was a kid this song has changed my life for the best, i miss the good old days they were the best
