Im proud of my history, proud of my But there comes a time in a boys life he feels hes got to roam Daddy says Im crazy, Mama thinks Im But if I do it now then Ill never leave
Cause Ive driven every back road in part of the state a girl in my graduation class that I didnt date I tried everything on the menu down at Fiddlers Bar & I got a taste for somethin' this town will fill
Theres a big world out there for me to see I might sail a boat to China, dreams in Tennessee Right now the motors runnin', just a few I gotta do I gotta tell my friends goodbye, drive these streets for one last Change city limit sign to 'Population 4000 Minus 1'
see the bright lights, gonna make my mark So many things Ive got to do, I dont know where to cards in Vegas, walk the beach at Malibu Learn a few things I never knew
a great big world out there for me to see I might play for the 49ers, Mardi Gras in New Right now the runnin', just a few things I gotta do Tell my friends goodbye, drive these for one last time Change that limit sign to 'Population 4000 Minus 1'
Now Im stuck in New York City, starin' at walls Just how the grass out here aint that green at all Aint that at all
Theres a great big world out for me to see I might wed a daughter and raise a family Right now the clock is tickin', just a few I gotta do I gotta tell my friends goodbye, ride that subway one time Change that city limit sign to 'Population 12 Million 1' To 12 Million Minus 1'
Comin' home, comin' home, home
