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),
Wear a suit like my old man…
Pack up all my things and get my ass out of 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 tell everybody that you're gonna leave.
In about one year you'll have it all figured out.
These big city dreams are what you're about:
Walking like strangers 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 tell everybody that you're gonna leave.
Me again. Оh, 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.
