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 streetlight 
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  
  
She said let's run away  
If we don't leave now, I know that we'll just hang around  
And we're gonna burnout 
And I don't wanna burnout  
  
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  
  
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 burnout 
And I don't wanna burnout  
  
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  
And 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
