Big City Dreams 

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] out of town

 We've got to 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
 lifetime of [bad word] 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 [bad word] on and let it out
 Scream and shout and tell everybody that your 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 to 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
 lifetime of [bad word] 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 [bad word] on and let it out
 Scream and shout and tell everybody that your gonna leave

 Me again oh so casually
 Would you take the hit for me or the whole team?

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