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