  • saw them at NSU years ago, got their autograph :p  great band

  • 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.

    A mystery...

  • @chellidee you're telling me that the motorcycle at 2:58 doesn't make you want to jump out of your seat? LOLZ

  • 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!!!!!!!!!!

  • I like the band video but yeah some clips could have been put in

  • Video is horrible... Lead singer looks douchey... Otherwise cool song and kind of cool that no one knows about it

  • Its 2011 and still blast this song @120+mph around Dallas, Starbucks im hand, relaxing .. :)

  • 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?

  • I remember in school I use to wait for this song to come on the radio.

  • awesome song...heard it in kmart the other day and remembered how much i loved it back in 99 i believe..i was 18 :(

  • 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.

  • I played this song every time a friend is leaving town.... lol

  • I played this song everytime a friend is leaving town.... lol

  • This song made me left my town...

  • He's quite cute. And makes good music. I'm gald not too many people know about him.

  • 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 really like this song. I might look into them a bit more.

  • Dexter looks like me

  • This has been a favorite of mine for years and years.

  • Hey Dallas, remember this one?

  • the lead singer is kinda hot! lol

  • 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

  • The first time I herd this song was on J-wave, Music Hyper Market.

  • excellent song :D

  • Great song... now in days it's hard to find a song with this kinda vibe. It takes me back to middle in school in NY

    well.... a kid.

  • First graduating class of the new millennium. I miss those days.

  • Good video all those fine girls dancing around :)

  • hhaahahahah

  • 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

  • @chellidee nice idea man, why don't u make a video about it? :D

  • i actually came up with millions of ideas for other videos too.... that were way better than their shit... but kinda hard when your broke

  • @nyrolf87 idk how i would even go about it, it would probably be really shitty anyways. but one day it would be sweet

  • this was my brother's grad song back in 2001...such a great song!

  • good song!! and the lead singer is pretty hot too lol!

  • the story of my life.

  • No stupid gimmicks or tricks, just a solid song.

  • No gimmicks accept for the DJ scratching in the pre-chorus. With that said, I love this song.

  • my madonna was also a good song. I saw them live and they did a good cover of Janes Addiction's mountain song. Wow that was a whilllllllllllllle ago.

  • ...a fan right away after hearing it for the first time....lol....and looked for the artist's name.....hehe...this is really a great song!

  • wow, i took me a year to figure out this song, lol.. it bothered me and bothered me.. and now, i found it!!

  • it's a good album man

  • 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've loved this song. came out the year i graduated h.s. and was all over the radio and I was leaving town. totally hit the spot.

    hope they are still kickin it

  • gotta be one of the best songs no one has ever heard of

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.

  • LOVE this song,...but what the hell happened to the band??? One hit wonder???

  • 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!

  • I love high speed internet, I had dial-up for years and it was awful.

  • tmi

  • you want tmi? when i see homeless people sleeping in alleys on pieces of cardboard, i inject rat poison into my mammary glands and breast feed them.

  • lol

  • hahaha

  • I love this song soo much.. such joy joy feelings it brings!!

  • Dang, this song is really hard to sing... unless if he's cheating and changing keys or something, this guy's range is huge.

  • yay for Austin, Texas bands!

  • i heard this on a college radio station. such a good song.

  • shame that no one really knows them : (

  • ah, the 90s! I miss em so much

  • i know, man, what a good 10 years for music

  • 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.
