The Outsiders - Far Away from Tulsa Lyrics

2024 Broadway
The Outsiders the Musical - Far Away from Tulsa Lyrics

The song is written by Jonathan Clay, Zach Chance and Justin Levine.

PONYBOY:
Far away from Tulsa
Way outside of town
Where people can be people
And nobody puts you down
Just because they don't want you around
It's far out in the country
Blue skies overhead
I've seen it in the movies
And in the books I've read
This place is real,
It's not just in my head

This town is a dead-end road
Let's leave this behind,
Let's just get up and go
Find a new place to call home
Make a new life we can call our own
Someplace whеre we can be free
Free to dеcide who we wanna be
It's all becoming clear
A place with open spaces
The sounds of whip-poor-wills
We could watch the sun set
Over golden rolling hills
A house with flowers on the windowsill

JOHNNY:
And you could read us stories
And outside in the yard
We'd have ourselves a garden,
But we wouldn't work too hard
And every night we'd stare up at the stars

PONYBOY & JOHNNY:
This town is a dead-end road
Let's leave this behind,
Let's just get up and go
Find a new place to call home
Make a new life we can call our own
Someplace where we can be free
Free to decide who we wanna be
It's all becoming clear

JOHHNY:
We'd sit around the fire
After every day was through
We'd be each other's family,
Pony, start this life anew

PONYBOY:
This could be a chance
To have a place to rest your head
You'd wake up every morning
In a big old feather bed
Like a house I’ve read in Dickens
Where the walls are crumbling down
I'm tired of blindly watching
As we're inching towards the ground
“Ponyboy, you're just a dreamer,”
That's what both my brothers say
But it's all there for the taking,
Just a leap of faith away
I've got

PONYBOY & ENSEMBLE:
Great expectations
Great expectations
Great expectations
Great expectations

PONYBOY & JOHNNY:
It's all becoming clear
There's no way we're going
To find that here
