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 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 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 to 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
