Lyrics

[Intro] Dum, dum, dum Dum, dum, duh-oh Dum, dum, dum Dum, dum, duh-oh Dum, dum, dum Dum, dum [Verse 1] Catch your breath, we're leaving now We're gonna run out of this cardboard town We'll leave behind the shelter of the suburbs I've got plans The highway whispers through the woods It carries freedom from this neighborhood We'll hitch a ride Before our parents wake up we'll be gone [Chorus] The morning's so cold It's warm in every household Where friends sleep for school but we're not dreaming Oh, why are vou shakin'? [Post-Chorus] Dum, dum, dum Dum, dum, duh-oh Dum, dum, dum Dum, duh-oh [Verse 2] I promise you I mailed this man a down payment on a cold water flat It's not so clean It's where we'll sleep together Please have patience Commuter cars are crawling by It's getting late, I hope we catch a ride You're fidgety Your eyes are slightly swollen Please don't cry [Chorus] A station wagon red brake lights are flashing The car's familiar Oh, it's my father Oh, please don't give up Oh, please don't give up [Outro] Dum, dum, dum Dum, dum, duh-oh Dum, dum, dum Dum, dum, duh-oh Dum, dum, dum Dum, dum, duh-oh Ooh, Ooh
