lyrics

I was from a quiet town in Illinois
The world was always out there since I was a boy
One day you're tired of playing with your toys
The next day comes, your bags are packed
You hit the pavement like a game of jacks and I'm

Gonna take a ride to another life

I was from a quiet town in Illinois
It was so quiet we were suspicious of the noise
You had to be suspicious, you didn't have a choice
Even if the sound you heard was coming from your voice

Gonna take a ride to another life

Get another life, get a life, get another life
Get a life and get down to it
Get another life, get a life, get another life
Get a life before you blew it

And we're gonna ride to another life

I was from a quiet town in Illinois
