It’s been one of “those days” for a year
And I might scream if I don’t get outta here
I need to see some stars and know there’s more than what we are
I’ve got my keys and I’ve got my car

Why don’t we leave town?
Let’s get outta Dodge
We’ll cover some ground before they notice we’re gone
So long to the city
Hello, open road
Just say you’ll come with me
Jump in and let’s go
Let’s get outta town

I’ve misplaced my faith and hope’s gone the byway
Maybe we’ll find love out there on the highway
Along the yellow lines
You tell me yours, I’ll tell you mine
Till all our woes are left behind

Why don’t we leave town?
Let’s get outta Dodge
We’ll cover some ground before they notice we’re gone
So long to the city
Hello, open road
Just say you’ll come with me
Jump in and let’s go

Just you and me and the breeze – don’t it sound nice?
This moment won’t come twice

Why don’t we leave town?
Let’s get outta Dodge
We’ll cover some ground before they notice we’re gone
So long to the city; hello, open road
Just say you’ll come with me
Just say you’ll come wiith me
Let’s get outta town
