So maybe this is what I need Leavin' the city Where you won't find me playin' by the rules And maybe you can't stop me He's not a phase or a hobby Even if they take me away, my heart's with you Well it's time to leave this all behind In the shadows of your headlight Hit the pedal, ninety-nine, I won't ever say goodbye So maybe this is what I need Leavin' the city Where you won't find me actin' like I'm you 'Cause I'm living my own life No more stars and stripes Since I've learned to fly I'll say my goodbyes So maybe if we drive this fast We'll really leave it in the past Never think of going back I'm not losing you Runnin' in the shadows Trippin' up, dominoes Linkin' our elbows I'm not scared with you. 'Cause I'm living my own life No more stars and stripes Since I've learned to fly I'll say my goodbyes 'Cause I'm living my own life No more stars and stripes And yes, I am alright I'll say my goodbyes
