Out of This Town

Out of This Town

A Poem by Dennis Shanaberg
"

Anywhere but here would be good

"
I want out of this town.
Put the pedal all the way down.
I want out of this town.
Get me out of here now.
 
Hit the road tonight.
Get me out of here.
Get me out of here now.
Let’s drive as fast as we can.
Get me out of here.
Please, get me out of here.
 
The stars are flying by.
As we race past the sky.
All the people I’ve grown to hate,
All the people I’ve grown to love,
I’m leaving behind tonight
I can’t stay here anymore.
Listen to waves on the shore.
We are driving ever faster,
We are going never slower,
What the hell do I have to stay for.
 
Hit the road tonight.
Get me out of here.
Get me out of here now.
Let’s drive as fast as we can.
Get me out of here.
Please, get me out of here.
 
Please, just yell out to me
If I am making a big mistake
I’m losing feeling now
From keeping this pedal down.

Great flow and passion. I can soooo relate to those feelings.. even with a few around that I love.. I would love to just fly away sometimes.. a fantasy but it's a burning type of feeling in my core. I have always wanted to live in a place that in my childhood I swore I would move to.. and today I am sitting 25 miles away from where I was born! To me that is very boring.. I want to experience things.. also where I live employment is not so well.. but then I think it's like that in alot of places. If I choose to get up and go.. I will plan.. I have a child to think about otherwise I would be gone... lol. Loved the complete feel of this.. definitely could be lyrics.. and many will be able to relate to those feelings! Thank you so much for sharing! =)

I like this. Many of feel like this, wanting to leave and get away. I like how at the end, it is almost as if you are second guessing yourself, a nice....almost twist. good job.
