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

Chorus:

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

chorus

(Solo)

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

chorus repeats 2x

You and me baby, we've got to steal away, turn it on, turn it on
