Still got your picture up on the wall
I can’t take’ em down
I keep expecting you to call
But you don’t make a sound
Time ain’t supposed to pass this slow
I should have forgotten you long ago
I just never get around to getting over you

I’m tired of putting it off till tomorrow
Should’ve done it yesterday
No gain in drowning in my sorrow
Just wasting away
Just when I think I got it made
You never fail to get in the way
I just never get around to getting over you

If I could just convince myself
To open my eyes and see
You’re not the one for me,
Then I could start all over
And get on with my life and be
Free from your memory
I could be free

(You see) you’re still here after all this time
And I can’t erase you from my mind

I just never get around
Never get around, baby
Never get around to getting over you

This town doesn’t understand
Two people making dreams and plans
They say we’re much too young
In this town

This town’s full of narrow minds
Can’t see beyond the city limit signs
They close the bedroom blinds
In this town

I’ve done some thinking and I realise
There’s more than Dairy Queens and Friday nights
While we’re still young, we’ve gotta get away
Together we can make our break

From this town
Word’ll get around
Two renegades escaped
No they couldn’t keep us down
And this town will be a dime store memory
Baby I just know it
There’s a better place to be
Than this town,
Oh this town

Now this town’s got a factory
Not much future here for you and me
It’s as far as they can see
In this town

I’ve heard the wind blowin at my door
Voices telling me there’s so much more
It’s easy to get bored
In this town

I’ve just got to see those city lights
It’s time we spread our wings and learn to fly.
The’ll never catch us if we disappear
Oh the interstate is much too near

To this town
Word’ll get around
Two renegades escaped
No they couldn’t keep us down
And this town will be a dime store memory
Baby I just know it
There’s a better place to be
Than this town,
Oh this town

Can’t you just hear them talking
Their righteous words, burning down the wire
What do we care what they think now,
Thinking’s not allowed
In this town.

This town
Word’ll get around
Two renegades escaped
No they couldn’t keep us down
And this town will be a dime store memory
Baby I just know it
There’s a better place to be
Than this town,
Oh this town
This town
This town
