Well, I'm tired of the pressure, so tired of the pace
Just wanna grab you baby and get out of this place
I got no chance of making it, working downtown
And walking slow and talking low
I'm tired of going down and down and down

Yeah, start the car, we gotta move
This ain't no living, this ain't no groove
It's been a long, hard road
Come on baby, drive it home
Start the car

Well, started out for paradise, ain't no promised land
This ain't no kinda living for an honest working man
There's people dying on the streets, they never make the news
My love is living up on the hill, singing the white boy blues

Yeah, start the car, we gotta move
This ain't no living, this ain't no groove
The city's rich, we're dirt poor, somewhere waiting
There's something more
Start the car
Oh, yeah

Well, going out with dignity, going out with style
We'll lay down that hammer baby and make our own road, across the miles
'Cause I can't take this town, one more day baby

Yeah, start the car, we gotta move
This ain't no living, this ain't no groove
The city's rich, we're dirt poor, somewhere waiting
There's gotta be something more

Start the car, we gotta move
This ain't no living, this ain't no groove
It's been a long, hard road
Now come on baby, drive it home
Start the car

Yeah, start the car, baby...

Start the car
Start the car, baby
Well, come on baby start the car now
Start the car
