Im of my history, proud of my home But there comes a time in a boys life he feels hes got to roam Daddy says Im crazy, Mama Im naive But if I dont do it now Ill never leave
Cause Ive driven every 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 somethin' this will never fill
Theres a great big world out for me to see I might sail a boat to China, chase dreams in now the motors runnin', just a few things I gotta do I gotta tell my friends goodbye, drive these streets for one last Change that limit sign to 'Population 4000 Minus 1'
Gonna see the bright lights, gonna 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 that I never knew
a great big world out there for me to see I might 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 limit sign to 'Population 4000 Minus 1'
Now Im stuck in New York City, starin' at walls Just thinkin' how the grass out here 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 a family Right now the clock is tickin', just a few I gotta do I gotta tell my friends goodbye, ride that subway one last Change that city limit sign to 12 Million Minus 1' To 'Population 12 Minus 1'
Comin' home, comin' home, comin'
