Keiran This town doesn’t understand
Two people making 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 thinking and I realise
There’s more than Dairy Queens and Friday nights
While we’re still young, we’ve gotta get away
Together we can make our break
From this town
Word’ll get around
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 telling me there’s so much more
It’s easy to get bored
In this town
I’ve just got to see those city lights
It’s time we spread our wings and learn to fly.
The’ll never catch us if we disappear
Oh the interstate is much too near
To this town
Word’ll get around
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
Can’t you just hear them talking
Their righteous words, burning down the wire
What do we care what they think now,
Thinking’s not allowed
In this town.
This town
Word’ll get around
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
This town
This town
