Story Behind The Song
Inspired by more frequent urges to just pack everything up and get away from it all. Also based on a common practice of kids from Des Moines to assume that their lives will be better if they move to another city. Sometimes it works for them, usually it doesn't.

Lyrics
I?ve got my keys and my money, I?m getting away
I?ve got my keys and my money, I?m leaving today
Something is out there, I just know it
I?m taking my former life and saying goodbye
I?ll make it big somewhere else or die while I try
I thought that I would find paradise
But now I?ve ended up in Ames, Iowa
Something is wrong, It?s not what I wanted
I?m taking my former life and saying goodbye
I?ll make it big somewhere else or die while I try
Interlude
I thought I?d do well if I moved away, but I was wrong
I?ll put this song in my CD player and I?ll sing along
I?ve got my keys and my money, I?m getting away
I?ve got my keys and my money, I?m leaving today
Something is out there, I just know it
I?m taking my former life and saying goodbye
I?ll make it big somewhere else or die while I try
I?m taking my former life and saying goodbye
I?ll make it big somewhere else or die while I try
