Where Do They Go

(intro) Come out and burn rubber, it's out in the streets It's Saturday night once again. The highway patrol stops at Denny's to eat, The world's racin' but nobody wins. Young girls will try the new fashion tonight, Then go the dance at the school. And the boys will start drinkin' and get their heads tight And the flatlanders try to look cool. Then the band will start playin' and no one will care, Though they request all their favorite songs. They just wanna make sure that their friends are all there, So they can feel like they belong. Then they go to a friends' house and watch MTV, Where all the bands look just alike. And they may even like some of that dumb stuff they see, Then dress up in leather and spikes. But when they go and they start to grow old They go home to bed every night 'Cause when they start workin' they get tired and slow Get married and start a new life Friends move away, never heard of again Funny how everyone ages Their face in the yearbook is what's left of them And the poems that they left on the pages
