Im only seventeen, but I want much more than a small town girl should bargain for
More than standing in one place, waiting for the next james dean I live in a town thats
Gripped in the Bible belt man, I bared my back and I took the welts I only pray to get out of here
Maybe someday Ill find out if the world is green
(chorus) there is nothing to do in this town at night but sit in my car and watch the streetlights
Or stare out the window at the pizza joint whats the point? I wish I could buy my ford a sail
Hey, hey, look at the wind blow
Now the life of the local beauty queen is tied to the captain of the baseball team
They got a baby on the way at least thats what the kids are saying and the wedding Im told, well it must take place
To save both families from disgrace but the whole town knows you see, it aint like shes not showing...
(chorus)
Tommy bates sits in his car and he waits for his girl down at luckys diner
Theyre at the end of the loop and hes drinking soup while she puts on more eyeliner
I passed them once, and Ill pass them twice, and Ill pass them back again they bought an old range rover from the next town over
And their headlights are my friends, yeah, those headlights are my friends...
