Lyrics
Getting Out of Here
I was young and proud
When I left my home
To find my way in the World.
I was sure I'd find
A welcoming sign
And a happy young girl.
But all I found was this run down old town,
And a job sellin' beer,
But I still have dreams
And I've got the means
And I'm gettin' out of here.
I'm gonna head out West
To California
And find myself some sun,
And I won't stop 'till I find a place
That feels a lot like home.
But all I found was this run down old town,
And a job sellin' beer,
But I still have dreams
And I've got the means
And I'm gettin' out of here.
All I found was this run down old town,
And a job sellin' beer,
But I still have dreams
And I've got the means
And I'm gettin' out of here.
Instrumental Break
We found ourselves down in Mexico
Just me and my girl
We bought our own little place
We found our way in the world.
Now we found this great little town
And a job selling beer
We've still got our dreams and
We've got the means
And we're lovin life out here
We're livin life out here
We're lovin life out here.
