This town doesn't understand Two people makin' dreams and plans They say we're much too young In this town This town's full of narrow minds Can't see beyond the city limit signs They close the bedroom blinds In this town I've done some thinkin' And I realize There's more than Dairy Queen and Friday nights While we're still young, we've gotta get away Together we can make our break CHORUS: From this town Word'll get aroung Two renegades escaped No they couldn't keep us down And this town Will be a dime store memory Baby I just know it There's a better place to be Than this town Oh this town Now this town's got a factory not much future here for you and me It's as far as they can see In this town I've heard the wind blowin' at my door Voices tellin' me there's so much more It's easy to get bored In this town I've just got to see those those city lights It's time we spread our wings and learn to fly They'll never catch us if we disappear Oh the interstate is much too near CHORUS: Can't you just hear them talkin' Their righteous words Burnin' down the wire What do we care what they think now Thinkin's not allowed...in this town (CHORUS) This town This town
