I'm only seventeen, but I want much more Than a small town girl should bargain for
|
More than standing in one place, waiting for the next James Dean I live in a town that's
|
gripped in the bible belt Man, I 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
|
|
Hey, hey, look 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 told, well it must take place
|
To save both families from disgrace But the whole town knows You see, it 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 once, and I'll pass them twice, and I'll pass them back again They bought an old Range Rover from the next town over
|
And their headlights are my friends, yeah, those headlights are my friends...
|
