Pull out of the driveway, put the car in drive
Accelerate to 40 and kiss your town goodbye
You're riding up the road
There's nothing left for you here, there's nothing but the pain
Of people always hating and you're always to blame
You're riding up the road
When in one world friends surround me
And in the other trouble's found me
It's so good to have you around me
You're the best of everywhere
You pass by all your neighbors in a town that grew up fast
It's all about the future just forget about the past
You're riding up the road
Remember all the fun times, when you would pass through here?
Glasses, fast food, martial arts, and friends that you now fear
You're riding up the road
When the right eye offended me
Did cutting it out set me free?
I guess only time will tell me
If you were meant to leave
Wyckoff, Mahwah, Ramsey, it seems they're all the same
Starbucks, forests, fancy signs all clutter up your brain
You're riding up the road
I can't believe you just forgot to turn on Cherry Lane
Darlington's just up ahead, your mind is filled with flames
You're riding up the road
And as I get closer to my goal
I remember the freedom that they stole
But I'll never let that take its toll
On the man I am today.
Pull into the parking lot, stand there all alone
Look around and smile it's your home away from home
You turn your back on the road.

Sirens ring out in the dead of night
Cops show up to set all wrongs right
The boy lay still, obviously dead
The chief showed up and here's what he said,
"There's gotta be a story, why this boy died,
Out here tonight on Highway 49."
Johnny was a junior at Westville High
Got good grades and he never told a lie
The only trouble was the crowd he ran in
Like everybody else he tried to fit in
All went well 'til he set his on eye
On Jenny who lived off of Highway 49
When he finally got around to asking her out
He acted all tough as if he knew how
Jenny said yes, there was something in her eyes
Johnny just smiled and paid it no mind
He said, "Why don't you come with me and my guys,
We're gonna score some on Highway 49
Now the boys had a taste for some serious drugs
And a broken down building that housed what they loved
So the boys got wasted, John and Jen made out
Until they heard a voice screaming, "What's the noise about??"
There was a big scramble then the world went blind
And shots were fired on Highway 49
[ROCK!!]
Jenny screamed in terror at the horrible mess
Johnny's body on her, it bloodied up her dress
The boys ran away to a faraway place
No one saw the killer, not even his face
But some say the sirens seemed quite well timed
That terrible night out on Highway 49.
