Well I'm tired of the pressure
So tired of the pace
Just wanna grab you baby, and get out of this place
I got no chance of makin' it, working downtown
I'm just walkin' slow and talkin' low
And tired of going down, down, down
Start the car, we gotta move
This ain't no living, this ain't no groove
It's been a long hard road
Come on baby, let's drive it home
Start the car
We started out for paradise
But this ain't no promised land
And this ain't no kind of living for an honest working man
Well there's people dying on the streets
Sure don't make the news
While others livin' up on the hill
Singin' the white boy blues
Start the car, we gotta move
This ain't no living, this ain't no groove
This city's rich, or dirt poor
But somewhere waiting there's something more
Start the car
Now we're going out with dignity
We're going out with style
Gonna lay down that hammer baby
And make our own road across the miles
'Cause I can't take this town one more day
Start the car, we gotta move
This ain't no living, this ain't no groove
This city's rich, or dirt poor
But somewhere waiting, there's gotta be something more
Start the car
It's been a long hard road
Better come on baby
Let's drive it home
Start the car
