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