State Valley

Your summer's just about over now and you decide to hit the road You still haven't finished school, yet you want to leave your home And I know how to turn away when I hear your lips make a sound Yet you decide to turn away from grabbing that cap and gown Times are changing, heading towards the best Summer's fading why can't you see the rest I don't know how this thing goes and why you cannot stay But I was told when I get old, these problems just go away So how's life treat you now? Are you happy with your first choice? You said you want to pave the way, who said you had a voice? Growing up on an eastern side, yet you're only longing for the west A country river with city lights, that's what seems to suit you best Times are changing, heading towards the best Summer's fading, why can't you see the rest Fall is coming and the leaves are going brown You can miss it, slam the brakes and slow down I don't know how this thing goes and why you cannot stay But I was told when I get old, these problems just go away The seasons change so fast, oh wouldn't you agree That when I saw you last, you weren't worried about a degree And if we are nothing again, is it possible you might mean We were something from start to end, before you left the scene Smell you later, see you then Small town kids, big time friends Smell you later, see you then Small town kids, big time friends Smell you later, see you then Small town kids, big time friends Smell you later, see you then Small town kids, big time friends I don't know how this thing goes and why you cannot stay But I was told when I get old, these problems just go away I don't know how this thing goes and why you cannot stay But I was told when I get old, these problems just go away
