Don’t Wait Up For Me

I spent all of high school asleep and over it
While every one i knew seemed fake and into it

As soon as i get out I'm moving to north Hollywood
Where the kids live hand to mouth
Life is hard but things are good

I wanna see Graceland
Ride the New York subway
Hop in the car with my friends and drive up the pacific coast highway

It's time to be the star of my show
Wear what's in style
And no one calls me a hoe

I left yesterday for the beach, don't wait up for me
I left yesterday for the beach, don't wait up for me

There's a girl at the surf shop 9 to 5
Knows what it's like to be alive
The sun sets and her boyfriend gets her
He ain't rich but he protects her

But they don't live in this town
No, they don't live in this town
No, they don't live in this town

I left yesterday for the beach, don't wait up for me
I left yesterday for the beach, don't wait up for me

This town will steal your soul
Whittle you down and make you old
I'll find the brightest lights I see
The city is the place for me

There's no more wall-mart parking lots
No more drive-thru restaurants
No more Starbucks making culture
Say good bye to this old high-school

If i can't, if i can't win here
I'll take second place, it's better than nothing

Anywhere, anywhere but here
Would be better than this place
I gotta do something

You won't see me around
Unless your at the greyhound station
The ticket's in my hand
For a brand new life at a new location

Don't wait up for me

You won't see me around
Unless your at the greyhound station
The ticket's in my hand
For a brand new life at a new location

Don't wait up for me
