It’s the same old story in every small town
Johnny walks the streets ’til the sun goes down
Dreams of a life less boring they’re just out of reach
Yeah well nothing ever happens on those empty streets

Everyone’s got their blue suede shoes but no one’s got a reason to dance

We’re all living in a small town somewhere
Driving fast going nowhere
This is it no second chance
Give me one give me one good reason to dance

Johnny’s headed home each day is just the same
It’s the same old picture in a different frame
She was old enough to know but too young to care
And the people on the streets all just stop and stare

Ripped jeans and tattered hair she’s just looking for someone to dance

We’re all living in a small town somewhere
Driving fast going nowhere
This is it no second chance
Give me one give me one good reason to dance

Broken hearts in a small town somewhere
Trying hard we’re going nowhere
This is it we’re fading fast
Give me one give me one good reason to

Live in a small town somewhere
Driving fast going nowhere
This is it no second chance
Give me one give me one good reason to
Live in a small town somewhere
Driving fast going nowhere
This is it no second chance
Give me one give me one good reason
I need one one good reason
Give me one just one good reason
Give me one give me one good reason to dance
