We left âem all out in Levelland With the devilâs hand we broke through that door I got a tape of a rock and roll band An American band from the Jersey shore Singinâ no retreat baby, noooo surrender
Donât give a damn about the football team Or some small town scheme about what we are Freedom to me aint plowinâ a field Itâs the scream of the wheels of my daddyâs car Singinâ no retreat, noooo surrender
And everybody tried to tell us We were never gonna leave this town They can spend their lives hanginâ around But trust me baby, I'm gonna show you how Cause this is our world now
200 miles without takinâ a breath You were scared to death but there was fire in your eyes Top laid down and the wind in your hair You didnât have a care By the Mexico line Singinâ oh, oh I'm on fire
Emptied out your 4-H cash Warm six pack from my daddyâs stash Rollinâ 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 hanginâ around But trust me baby, I'm gonna show you how Cause this is our world now
