What's the matter with you?
You've been down all day

What happened to you
Make you feel that way?

Baby ain't that a shame when they call you those names
Dropping out from school

Guess it wasn't so cool
Everyone, everyone needs, some space to breathe

All the time we have been blind, so blind
Yeah, we just couldn't see it

Yeah, you're too old to cry
Too young to die

What happens in the .. in between?
Don't you think it's strange, things just change

It's just a burnt out town a burnt out scene
You've been a dropout ever since you've been seventeen

Lonely child when will you see?
You need to be free

Often times people they find
They're not blind
Yeah, they just don't see

Lonely child listen to me
It's just a burnt out town
It's just a one horse scene

Gotta get away, gotta get away, you got to
Hanging out in the parking lot at Dairy Queen

You've been a dropout ever since you've been seventeen, yeah
Gotta get away, gotta get away, you got to

Gotta get away, gotta get away, you got to
You got to, you got to
