Im proud of my history, of my home But there a time in a young boys life When he hes got to roam says Im crazy, Mama thinks 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 taste for somethin' this town 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 Change that city sign to 'Population 4000 Minus 1'
Gonna see the bright lights, make my mark So many things Ive got to do, I dont know where to Play cards in Vegas, walk the at Malibu Learn a few things I never knew
Theres a big world out there for me to see I play for the 49ers, Mardi Gras in New Orleans Right now the motors runnin', a few things I gotta do Tell my friends goodbye, drive these streets for one last Change that city limit sign to 'Population 4000 1'
Now Im stuck in New York City, starin' at walls Just thinkin' how the out here aint that green at all that green at all
Theres a big world out there for me to see I might wed a 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 that city limit sign to 'Population 12 Million Minus 1' To 12 Million Minus 1'
home, comin' home, comin' home
