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)
Wear a suit like my old man
Pack up all my things and get my [bad word] outta town

We've got it good,
Weather you like this town or not
I know it's smalll
But with a big head it's bound to get hot
In the summer, but this summer is a bummer
If you can't leave this pathetic excuse for a town

That holds all your memories,
lifetime of [bad word] 
And your broken dreams,
To be anywhere but here,
But baby anywhere is away from you

And woohoo

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 c'mon and let it out
Scream it,
Shout it,
Tell everybody that you're gonna leave

In about one year, you'll have it all figured out
These big city dreams are whatyou're about
Walking like strangers amung these states,
Only time'll tell how long we can wait

We've got it good,
Weather you like this town or not
I know it's smalll
But with a big head it's bound to get hot
In the summer, but this summer is a bummer
If you can't leave this pathetic excuse for a town

That holds all your memories,
lifetime of [bad word] 
And your broken dreams,
To be anywhere but here,
But baby anywhere is away from you

And woohoo

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 c'mon and let it out
Scream it,
Shout it,
Tell everybody that you're gonna leave

Me again
Oh so casually would you take the hit for me
Or the home team

And woohoo

If you got it all figured out,
Then what is there to shout about?
This midwest town is gonna miss you
