Nowhere, SA

Time moves slowly Far too slow to observe it They should get some scientists down here just to prove it Ladies in the salons with their magazines Couple fashion tips from 2003 I dreamed too big, should have been an apprentice It's not like a life stacking shelves at a Spend-Less Gotta get out Gotta get outta this town Gotta get out Kicked me in the teeth Didn't even have a chance Got into a fight at the homecoming dance It's the last straw it's always them verse me All these stupid kids on the football team Took a walk back wiped the blood on my shirt sleeve Tapped upon your window but you told me to leave Heard your dad screaming as I climbed back down What the hell do I do now? I gotta get out I gotta get out I gotta get outta here I gotta get out I gotta get out I gotta get outta here I was optimistic when I got home to my place Grabbed a few things shoved them all in my suitcase Keys in my hand, a big idea in my head Felt my problems drifting at a hundred and ten Kicked it up a gear Crashed my car in a light post There goes my summer's pay, there goes all my hope There's moments which define you, and those you forgot I remember shaking like a leaf from the shock Spent about an hour in the front of a motel Filing a police report, cop said to keep still Had a once over by the medical team They said I was lucky but I wasn't relieved Took a ride home in the back of a white van Watched out the window at the smoke in a daydream I could almost see the lights from interstate Couldn't hold the tears as they faded away I gotta get out I gotta get out I gotta get outta here I gotta get out I gotta get out I gotta get outta here I gotta get out I gotta get out I gotta get outta here I gotta get out I gotta get out I gotta get outta here God I kid myself thinking this could be my year Maybe I've been fated to spend all of my life here Maybe I'll just lose it like they all lose the plot When I kick the bucket bury me here to rot Should I join the kids, block it out with a bright pill Standing round drinking from a bottle of NyQuil I gotta get out Gotta get out of this town I gotta get out I gotta get out I gotta get out I gotta get outta here I gotta get out I gotta get out I gotta get outta here
