We left 'em all out in Levelland
With the devil's hand we broke through that door
I got a tape of a rock and roll band
An American band from the Jersey shore
Singin' no retreat baby, noooo surrender

Don't give a damn about the football team
Or some small town scheme about what we are
Freedom to me aint plowin' a field
It's the scream of the wheels of my daddy's car
Singin' no retreat, noooo surrender

And everybody tried to tell us
We were never gonna leave this town
They can spend their lives hangin' around
But trust me baby, I'm gonna show you how
Cause this is our world now

200 miles without takin' a breath
You were scared to death but there was fire in your eyes
Top laid down and the wind in your hair
You didn't have a care
By the Mexico line
Singin' oh, oh I'm on fire

Emptied out your 4-H cash
Warm six pack from my daddy's stash
Rollin' up 87 as fast as we can
The Detroit V-8 is gonna take us to the promised land

And everybody tried to tell us
We were never gonna leave this town
They can spend their lives hangin' around
But trust me baby, I'm gonna show you how
Cause this is our world now
