We were kids too scared to run Burning down back roads for fun Screaming songs about breaking out Of this town Had the plans all figured out On the back of a postcard We wrote down How we'd make our great escape Someday, far away We can't give up now I won't let you down These dreams will never die And this town won't Take me alive On a highway out of here Memories in the rear view mirror Take my hand and promise me We'll live this dream Pack your bag, lets hit the road No more swearing that we'll go I'm so tired of making plans That never land All the chains that held me down Have all but rusted out And everyones have done the same But they swear they're still chained We can't give up now I won't let you down These dreams will never die And this town won't Take me alive I can see it, I can see it I can see it now It's so much closer No, don't slow down I can feel it, I can feel it I can feel it now Hold me closer I won't wait another minute Girl, we're breaking out No, this town won't hold us down We'll be running, we'll be running Until we can't be found We can hold our own Just don't slow down On the highway out of here Memories in the rear view mirror Take my hand and promise me We'll live this dream On the horizon, city lights Swear I've never seen Them look so bright Feels like we're in a movie scene On the silver screen Don't let this fire fade Like all those before you Don't listen to what they say Because, they'll never break through The road is scary but it's everything That you've ever wanted If we don't leave now We'll always be haunted I can see it, I can see it I can see it now It's so much closer No, don't slow down I can feel it, I can feel it I can feel it now Hold me closer I won't wait another minute Girl, we're breaking out No, this town won't hold us down We'll be running, we'll be running Until we can't be found We can hold our own Just don't slow down On the horizon, city lights Swear I've never seen Them look so bright Feels like we're in a movie scene On the silver screen
