every friday night this old town comes to life and paints a neon scene

one by one they're linin up to fill their cups and cash in all their dreams

well i'll stop by for just one round then i'm outta town to the place i need to be

and when i get up here i like to kick the headlights off so i can see

sometimes it's hard to think with all the bright lights and the bars

so here i am six pack in hand just starin at the stars

and lay back on this faded hood

fill my cup all systems good for launch

well i pull up and burn it down

get so high above this town i'm gone

and i wish that i could stay

up here and far away

from gravity

lookin down on that broken town

full of what ifs and i could've beens

same old story every day

that i just can't stand to hear again

see i been down there all my life

and somehow it's never felt like home

but up here in the stars i think i found a place

where all my dreams belong

someday i know i'm gonna find a way to blow this town

but until then i'll drive up here

so it don't pull me down

and just lay back on this faded hood

fill my cup all systems good for launch

well i pull up and burn it down

get so high above this town i'm gone

and i wish that i could stay

up here and far away

from gravity

just lay back on this faded hood

fill my cup all systems good for launch

i pull up and burn it down

get so high above this town i'm gone

nd i wish that i could stay

up here and far away

from gravity
