Why don't you prove them wrong, I'm saying now
What I said back then, this whole town
Always held you down
You can do better
You just have to start
It's easier to be yourself and leave
Than to play the part
I gotta get outta this place
I gotta leave town
Same old fools
On that same old merry go 'round
Small bars and rusted cars
Demolitions and reconstruction
New hope and one more joke about living here
Everything come and everything goes
But it's always the same
I'm not saying I don't like it that way
I'm just saying every now and then
I gotta get outta this place
I hope you prove them wrong
Someday they'll know
I won't say how
I told you so
While tall poppies grow
You can do better
You just have to start
It's easier to be yourself and leave
Than to play the part
I gotta get outta this place
I gotta leave town
Same old fools
On that same old merry go 'round
Small bars and rusted cars
Demolitions and reconstruction
New hope and one more joke about living here
Everything come and everything goes
But it's always the same
I'm not saying I don't like it that way
I'm just saying every now and then
I gotta get outta this place
I gotta get out
I gotta get out
I gotta get out
