I finished school a few years ago
I should be doing something more than working at a servo
People looking at me like I'm see through
As I put another twenty on pump two
Everybody's going to the football game
They'll get drunk and then talk about the old days
Telling tales like they've never been heard
The older they get, the better they were
Someway somehow
I've gotta get out
Cause
Day after day, it's always the same
It's so perfectly predictable
I'll take a ticket, to anywhere different
Cause the only thing round here to change
Are red lights and last names
Monday morning it'll start again
With the same job, same time, finish five, start nine
Everybody doing what their Dad did
Living life like it's a habit
Someway somehow
I've gotta get out
Cause
Day after day, it's always the same
It's so perfectly predictable
I'll take a ticket, to anywhere different
Cause the only thing round here to change
Are red lights and last names
Day after day, it's always the same
So I'm breaking away
Gonna make my escape
I'm so ready to be reckless
I got me a ticket
Dam the consequences
Cause I'm breaking the rules of this game
Yeah nothing's gonna ever be the same
Cause the only thing round here to change
Are red lights and last names
Red lights and last names
I gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out
From these red lights and last names
I'm breakin' away,
I'm breaking, breaking, breaking away
From these red lights and last names
