That high school looked like prison
Glazed eyes, just tryin' to fit in
Slow dancing, sloppy kissing
You did your time
Didn't know what you were missing
All secondhand ambition
Til you went driftin' down
The double yellow line
You went from black and white
To Technicolor overnight
You ain't in Kansas anymore
Nothing's the same as it was before
You're such a long way gone
Can't click your heels
And go home again, baby
And one thing's for sure
You ain't in Kansas anymore
Framed on your mother's mantle
Is the you they all could handle
Out here you're such a scandal
Now you're on your own
Grown you can't hold a candle
To the kid in light blue flannel
Now you watch a different channel
Than the folks at home
You've seen the curtain fall
Nothing back there after all
Courage and heart, heart and mind
And all of the truth inside of you
You needed to find
