Lyrics
Gettin' Outta Here
Fed up bein' just "the boy next door"
The guy that works at the groc'ry store
In this dead-end town full of cul-de-sacs
One way out, only one train track
Can't play their small-town games no more
Chorus
Gettin' outta here when I'm done with my beer
Had enough of this for a life - time
In this one-horse town with a two-timin' woman
From now on I'll be on my on, time for gettin'outta here
Verse
Changin' shape, becomin' bold
No ties to convention will I hold
I feel like I'm defyin' gravity
Lifting off... 'cause I've just got to be free
Chorus
Gettin' outta here when I'm done with my beer
Had enough of this for a life - time
In this one-horse town with a two-timin' woman
From now on I'll be on my on, time for gettin' outta here
Bridge
Gonna make me a brand new play, I've torn up my old script
Gotta a new book on the way... 'cause I aint gonna take no more of this
Chorus
Gettin' outta here when I'm done with my beer
Had enough of this for a life - time
In this one-horse town with a two-timin' woman
From now on I'll be on my on, time for gettin' outta here
Gettin' outta here when I'm done with my beer
Had enough of this for a life - time
In this one-horse town with a two-timin' woman
From now on I'll be on my on, time for gettin' outta here
I'll be on my on, time for gettin' outta here
