Im proud of my history, of my home But there comes a time in a young boys When he hes got to roam says Im crazy, Mama thinks Im naive But if I dont do it now Ill never leave
Cause Ive every back road in this part of the state Aint a girl in my graduation class that I date I tried everything on the menu at Fiddlers Bar & Grill I got a taste for somethin' this will never fill
a great big world 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 tell my friends goodbye, drive these streets for one last time Change that city limit sign to 'Population Minus 1'
Gonna see the lights, gonna make my mark So many things Ive got to do, I dont know where to cards 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 in New Orleans now the motors runnin', just a few things I gotta do Tell my friends goodbye, these streets for one last time Change that limit sign to 'Population 4000 Minus 1'
Now Im in New York City, starin' at these walls Just thinkin' how the grass out here that green at all Aint green at all
Theres a great big out there for me to see I might wed a farmer's and raise a family Right now the clock is tickin', just a few I gotta do I tell my friends goodbye, ride that subway one last time Change that city limit sign to 'Population 12 Million 1' To 12 Million Minus 1'
Comin' home, comin' home, home
