She's always trying to work it out
Sitting in a parked car
Music on the stereo is blaring out
Shutting out the world
People always say
What you gonna' do now
Are you gonna' go far
Gonna' follow your heart till it stops
She could never say why
Cause she's leaving tonight
She would never say why
Cause she's leaving

Jesse always wanted, to get away
Drive across the border
Head out to the lakes
Lie beside the water
Blinded by the sun
Jesse are you gonna leave now?
Are you gonna leave town?

It's funny how she hesitates
She wonders why she still cares
Tomorrow seems so far away
This moment could be hers
People always say
What you gonna' do now
Are you gonna' go far
Gonna' follow your heart till it stops
She could never say why
Cause she's leaving tonight
She would never say why
Cause she's leaving

Jesse always wanted, to get away
Drive across the border
Head out to the lakes
Lie beside the water
Blinded by the sun
Jesse are you gonna leave now?
Are you gonna leave town?

Looking for the answer, she won't be the last one out
Trying to get a head-start, find her way through the crowds
Right now

Jesse always wanted, to get away
Drive across the border
Head out to the lakes
Lie beside the water
Blinded by the sun
Jesse don't leave it too long, too long now

Jesse always wanted, to get away
Drive across the border
Head out to the lakes
Lie beside the water
Blinded by the sun
Jesse are you gonna leave town?
