Defiance, Ohio road signs always look better looking over your shoulder Lyrics

he said he's tired of working overtime
and troubles weighing on his mind in class.
he said he'd like to pack his bags and run away,
and never look back.
he said this life of mine's like doing
time for crimes that i didn't commit.
if life is just a game, i'm on the losing team
and i just want to quit.

and she said we can take this weekend
drive out past city limits
keep on driving just as far
as we can go.
and maybe when we get back,
things will seem a little better,
things will work out
in a way we couldn't know...

she said we can take this weekend,
drive out past city limits,
keep on driving just as far
as we can go.
and we can take this weekend,
and make it last forever,
deal the shackles of our lives
a breaking blow.
because to run away is victory,
a tank of gas is freedom,
and a starry night and
open road is hopes.
we can take my fast car,
or maybe just close our eyes,
and when we open them the world we want
can be the world we know.
