Lyrics

Finals blew, I barely knew
My graduation speech
And with college out of reach
If I can't find a job I'm left with dad and myrtle beach
So, I'm bailing this town--or
Tearing it down--or
Probably more like hanging around
Everyone I know is acting weird
Or way too cool
They hang out by the pool
So I just read a lot and ride my bike around the school
Yeah, I'm bailing this town--or
Tearing it down--or
Probably more like hanging around
And all that I need now
Is someone with the brains and the know-how
To tell me what I want.
Anyhow
12Th of june, a gibbous moon
Is this the longest day?
I walked down to the bay
And jumped off of the dock and watched the summer waste away
Yeah, I'm bailing this town--or
Tearing it down--or
Probably more like hanging around
