Janie grew up in a small town
Eighteen and waiting on the count down
The morning of her graduation day

On stage getting her diploma
Can't stop thinking 'bout ditching Oklahoma

The second that she's free, she runs to her car and turns the key
Now past, she's long long gone
She'll hit the big city by the break of dawn

Like an outlaw on the run
She's living off the sweet taste of freedom
Chasing her dreams one by one
And she's Long past long gone

Her dreams, circled in red ink
On a map, laying in the front seat
Been waiting for this moment all her life

Don't care what's in her rear view
She's just looking for a skyline in her windshield
A hundred miles 'til bright lights fill her eyes she feels the thrill
Now she's long past, long gone
She'll hit the big city by the break of dawn
Like an outlaw on the run
She's living off the sweet taste of freedom

Chasing her dreams one by one
And she's Long past long gone

Like a bullet from a gun
There's no stopping her
Oh no, 'cause she's gone, Oh cause she's gone

Now she's long past, long gone
She'll hit the big city by the break of dawn
Like an outlaw on the run
She's living off the sweet taste
she's long past, long gone
She'll hit the big city by the break of dawn
Like an outlaw on the run
She's living off the sweet taste of freedom
Chasing her dreams one by one
And she's Long past long gone, Long past long gone
