[Verse 1]

I can tell that you're trying not to open your eyes

But the sun is too bright

Come, give up and move on

Leave that city and drive to nowhere

[Verse 2]

I followed the sun as it passed

By my streets, my friends, my home

And I swore under my breath

That they would never see my face around here

Never again

[Verse 3]

I shut the door and put that beater in gear

I watched your face get smaller

Inside my rearview mirror

I put my finger out and I screamed

"Here's that white picket fence"

"Here's that American dream"
