Oh country roads swerving
Singing along to the roustabouts
I'll never forget where I came from

Misdirected youth passionately devout
To the city I hold dearly but everyone talks shit about

And I hear talks about leaving. Me, I never wanted out
I'd rather stay and make something out of this town
We'll write our names in gasoline and burn them into the world
Never thinking about what we would become

We were young impressionable kids
Didn't know any better, didn't know any better than this
And our dreams they were our future
And as far as I can see
We'll be whatever we choose to be

We'll shake our fists at the morning sun singing "glory glory hallelujah!"
And I would give anything to feel the way I did back then

And I hear talks about leaving but I never wanted out
I'd rather stay and make something out of this town
We'll write our names in gasoline and burn them into the world
Never thinking about what we would become

We were young impressionable kids
Didn't know any better, didn't know any better than this
And our dreams they were our future
And as far as I can see
We'll be whatever we choose to be
We'll be whatever we choose to be

We were young impressionable kids
Didn't know any better, didn't know any better than this
And our dreams they were our future
And as far as I can see
We'll be whatever we choose to be
We'll be whatever we choose to be
We'll be whatever we choose to be
