Lyrics
One light town on a two lane street
Refers to a small town with one traffic light on a two-lane street.
One high school where the highways meet
Describes a town with a single high school located at the intersection of highways.
Oh that ain’t me I need a little more

I wanna chase some dreams and find out what I’m lookin’ for
Expresses a longing to pursue dreams and discover personal identity.
I think it’s about time I took a couple chances
Expresses readiness to take risks and embrace new opportunities.
Blow a few tires and dance a couple dances
Willingness to face challenges, experience setbacks, and enjoy life.
Live and let the good times roll
Encourages living life to the fullest and enjoying good times.
Fall in love and get my heart broke
Acknowledges the inevitability of heartbreak in the pursuit of love.
Been waiting on the sidelines

Told myself today’s the day I’m gonna

Dip my toes into the water

Well I’m jumpin’ in on a leap of faith
Committing to taking a leap of faith, regardless of uncertainties.
I’m getting out while the getting’s good
Deciding to make a change while the circumstances are favorable.
I’m young enough to kick up dust
Feeling young and energetic enough to embrace excitement and challenges.
Go after that rush just like I should
