Well, you grew up in this country town

I'm stuck out here and it's been forever

Where doin' nothing is allowed

And all my friends just say whatever

Once you're here, you're here to stay

Your life is made-up, got no say

I never ever see the light of day

You're so convincin', you talk a lot

About how this is all you got

If you don't remember times long ago

'Cause sooner or later, time gave 'em up

Sooner or later

Now go where you want (Why don't you) Stay where you may

My friend's got a house so you don't have to pay

When it's all addin' up (Why don't you) And tomorrow's the same

You just gotta jump if you want it to change

To me, that's crazy or just lazy

At least, I'm gettin' money for the rent

Your whole life sayin' yeah, one day, maybe

I had my chance to go, I never went

Oh, 'cause I know you wanna get on up

And not to sit back and just wait for luck

It's not so easy to take the risk

But it's better than livin' the life you miss

If you don't remember times long ago

'Cause sooner or later, time gave 'em up

Sooner or later

Now go where you want (Why don't you) Stay where you may

My friend's got a house so you don't have to pay

When it's all addin' up (Why don't you) And tomorrow's the same

You just gotta jump if you want it to change

Wake, eat, work, break, work, play

Sleep then wake

Break, work, sleep, wake, eat, work on

Now go where you want, stay where you may

My friend's got a house so you don't have to pay

When it's all addin' up, tomorrow's the same

You just gotta jump if you want it to change

Now go where you want (Why don't you) Stay where you may

My friend's got a house so you don't have to pay

When it's all addin' up (Why don't you) And tomorrow's the same

You just gotta jump if you want it to change

If you want it to change

I think it's time for me to get away
