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 Queens 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 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 sings and learn to fly

They'll never catch use if we disappear

Oh the interstate is much too near



(Chorus)



Can't you 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

This town
