You came to visit me one day In our small town we drove around so late at night With our sanity held over us You reached to grab my hand and hold me tight We drove and drove til we got lost Just trying to escape the plots Of people who just take what isn't free Well at least I've got you we said While all the thoughts flew out our heads Of bigger worlds for you to see And how this one's too small for me Oh Live somewhere I can ride a train and watch life through a window pane And not long for an unfamiliar face The skyline glows like hand blown glass When you're stuck on the overpass Among chaos and opportunity Yeah that's the place I wanna be My uncle asked you like it here and I just laughed and shrugged yeah, it's okay This town's just got big houses full of People I don't wanna be someday There's no room left for me to grow That's something you'd already know or Why the hell'd you ask me anyway My family lives right down the way I guess we'll all move on someday A world too big for all to see and It still feels too small for me Oh Live somewhere I can ride a train and watch life through a window pane And not long for an unfamiliar face The skyline glows like hand blown glass When you're stuck on the overpass Among chaos and opportunity Yeah that's the place I wanna be We drove my new car for the first time On your last night how life flies like My youth out the window oh Where did the time go Be 20 by sunrise You'll wake under new skies Our childhood is gone now let's Get on the highway of our lives Mr Reid playing on the phonograph Can't shake that I ain't feeling much inside Feel like I live a double life With you and here when will I get this right I don't know what I'm waiting for But working hard feels like a chore Don't know what I expected it to be I won't let my fear get to me My dreams will bring me ecstasy I know you don't believe in me One day I'll know the melody You'll sing my own words back to me We'll build a world where they're all free You'll ride my coattails at a ball And we'll still be here through it all and Oh, live somewhere I can ride a train And watch the city when it rains Without feeling like all that time is a waste I'll people watch while I drink tea and Find parks that inspire me And I will always have new things to see In the city I'll be free You can tell me that it's my life, will I ever get it right They all tell me that it's all my life, will I ever get it right Oh Live somewhere I can ride a train and watch life through a window pane And not long for an unfamiliar face The skyline glows like hand blown glass When you're stuck on the overpass Among chaos and opportunity Yeah that's the place I wanna be
