Bigcitydreams

You say we're both little people And you like it that way But in time I'm gonna put This body to shame (and grow old) Where a suit like my old man Pack up all my things And get my ass out of town We've got it good Whether you like this town or not I know it's small but with a big head It's bound to get hot In the summer But the summer is a bummer If you can't leave This pathetic excuse for a town That holds all your memories A lifetime of crushes And your broken dreams To be anywhere but here But baby anywhere Is away from me If you got it all figured out Then what is there to shout about? This midwest town is gonna miss you Just go ahead and work it out But first come on and let it out Scream it, shout, tell everybody That you're gonna leave In about one year You'll have it all figured out These big city dreams Are what you're about Walking like strangers Among these states Only time will tell How long I can wait We've got it good Whether you like this town or not I know it's small but with a big head It's bound to get hot In the summer But the summer is a bummer If you can't leave This pathetic excuse for a town That holds all your memories A lifetime of crushes And your broken dreams To be anywhere but here But, baby, anywhere Is away from me If you got it all figured out Then what is there to shout about? This midwest town is gonna miss you Just go ahead and work it out But first come on and let it out Scream it, shout, tell everybody That you're gonna leave Me again, oh, so casually Did you take the hit for me Or the home team? If you got it all figured out Then what is there to shout about This midwest town is gonna miss you
