I'm only seventeenbut I want much more than a small town girl should bargain for

More than standing in one placewaiting for the next james dean I live in a town that's

Gripped in the Bible belt manI bared my back and I took the welts I only pray to get out of here



Maybe someday I'll find out if the world is green



(chorus) there is nothing to do in this town at night but sit in my car and watch the streetlights

Or stare out the window at the pizza joint what's the point? I wish I could buy my ford a sail



Heyheylook at the wind blow



Now the life of the local beauty queen is tied to the captain of the baseball team

They got a baby on the way at least that's what the kids are saying and the wedding I'm toldwell it must take place

To save both families from disgrace but the whole town knows you seeit ain't like she's not showing...



(chorus)



Tommy bates sits in his car and he waits for his girl down at lucky's diner

They're at the end of the loop and he's drinking soup while she puts on more eyeliner

I passed them onceand I'll pass them twiceand I'll pass them back again they bought an old range rover from the next town over

And their headlights are my friendsyeahthose headlights are my friends...
