Don't Wait Up For Me

I spent all of high school asleep and over it.
While every one i knew seemed fake and into it.

As soon as i get out I'm moving to north Hollywood.
Where the kids live hand to mouth.
Life is hard but things are good.

I wanna see Graceland,
Ride the New York subway.
Hop in the car with my friends and drive up the pacific coast highway.

It's time to be the star of my show,
Wear what's in style,
And no one calls me a hoe.

I left yesterday for the beach, don't wait up for me.
I left yesterday for the beach, don't wait up for me.

There's a girl at the surf shop 9 to 5,
knows what it's like to be alive.
The sun sets and her boyfriend gets her,
he ain't rich but he protects her.

But they don't live in this town.
No, they don't live in this town.
No, they don't live in this town.

I left yesterday for the beach, don't wait up for me.

This town will steal your soul,
whittle you down and make you old.
I'll find the brightest lights I see,
the city is the place for me.

There's no more wall-mart parking lots.
No more drive-thru restaurants.
No more Starbucks making culture.
Say good bye to this old high-school.

If i can't, if i can't win here,
I'll take second place, it's better than nothing

Anywhere, anywhere but here.
Would be better than this place.
I gotta do something.

You won't see me around,
unless your at the greyhound station.
The ticket's in my hand,
for a brand new life at a new location.

Don't wait up for me.
