We can have a new start
Make a life in a new scene
You and me on the run
To California sun
I can play my guitar
You can star on the big screen
We can do what the hell we want
Our lives had just begun
I could tell
That second thoughts
Were in your mind and
You could tell
I'd leave here today
I couldn't stay here
And you couldn't go
Oh no
Oh no
We were young and in love
Was the time of our lives
But your daddy would scream and shout
Try to put the whole thing in doubt
Pay the rent
Pay the bills
How you gonna survive?
We can work it out
We'll figure it out
They convinced you
That maybe you should finish up
What you started
But I had plans
That I wouldn't break
By the time of July
All the dreaming was over
Oh no
Oh no
Summer's here
We'll always have
The College Year
We're never gonna
Be back here
It's over now
We're older now
Now you've got a man and a son
And I'm still living life on the run
(On the run)
We used to relate
In the times we were younger
But we're older now
It's over now
Summer's here
We'll always have
The College Year
We're never gonna
Be back here
It's over now
We're older now
I'm heading out
I'll see you around
Next year
"Why, what would you do if you did go to Hollywood?"
"I'm going to be somebody!"
