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