lyrics

We were smoking blue American Spirits and staring off into the night
We could see our breath in the freezing air, underneath that yellow streetlights
She said word came down, they're letting me go, and I heard they're closing down the bank and the grocery store
Aw something's gotta give, cause I'm tired of this town, and feeling like there's no place to go

Yeah, she said let’s run away
If we don't leave now, I know that we'll just hang around
And we're gonna burn out...and I don't wanna burn out

I was wound up tighter than a banjo string, and I was desperate for a new point of view
Cause when the work dries up and there's no money around, you'd be surprised to what a man will agree to

She said let’s run away
If we don't leave now, I know that we'll just hang around
And we're gonna burn out...and I don't wanna burn out

Our little hometown was shutting down, in my heart, I knew she was right
So, we tore down Main Street, across those county lines...it was high stakes in the midst of low times

Yeah, she said let’s run away
If we don't leave now, I know that we'll just hang around
And we're gonna burn out
You can call us runaways
We're just tired of being down
And honey if we stick around, we're gonna burn out...and I don't wanna burn out
I don’t wanna burn out
I don’t wanna burn out
I don’t wanna burn out
