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