I feel the wind blow on the corner   And I’m looking down along this dead end street   All the people are getting older   But they don’t give a damn their lives are incomplete   It don’t look no better than it did before   And I know what’s happening behind each door   If I don’t get out today I’m gonna waste my life away   And that’s a part that I can’t play      I don’t wanna spend my whole life in this town   I can feel it driving me away   Baby you and me were meant for higher ground   We’ve got to steal away…      As a young boy I didn’t fit in   And I knew it then I wouldn’t be the same   But that was only in the beginning   And as the time rolled on deeper grew the pain   So give me one good reason why I should stay   I think I’ve got enough money for the late night train   There’s a world you’ve never seen   But I’ve been there in my dreams   It’s calling out to me…      I don’t wanna spend my whole life in this town   I can feel it driving me away   Baby you and me were meant for higher ground   We’ve got to steal away…      If I don’t get out today, I’m gonna waste my life away   I’m gonna waste my life away   And that’s a part that I can’t play
