You say we're both little people and you like it that way But in time I'm gonna put this body to shame (and grow old) Where a suit like my old man Pack up all my things and get my ass outta town
We've got it good Whether you like this town or not I know it's small but with a big head it's bound to get hot In the summer But the summer is a bummer If you can't leave This pathetic excuse for a town
That holds all your memories A lifetime of crushes and your broken dreams To be anywhere but here But baby anywhere is away from me
If you got it all figured out Then what is there to shout about This midwest town is gonna miss you Just go ahead and work it out But first come on and let it out Scream it shout and tell everybody that your gonna leave
In about one year you'll have it all figured out These big city dreams are what you're about Walking like stangers among these states Only time will tell how long I can wait
We've got it good Whether you like this town or not I know it's small but with a big head it's bound to get hot In the summer But the summer is a bummer If you can't leave This pathetic excuse for a town
That holds all your memories A lifetime of crushes and your broken dreams To be anywhere but here But baby anywhere is away from me
If you got it all figured out Then what is there to shout about This midwest town is gonna miss you Just go ahead and work it out But first come on and let it out Scream it shout and tell everybody that your gonna leave
Me again oh so casually Would you take the hit for me or the home team
If you got it all figured out Then what is there to shout about This midwest town is gonna miss you
