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 mid-west 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 how your gonna leave

In about one year you'll have it all figured out

These big city dream 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 mid-west 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 how your 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 mid-west town is gonna miss you
