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
