(Chris Farren/Kevin Sharp)



Im proud of my history, proud of my home

But there comes a time in a young boys life

When he feels hes got to roam

Daddy says Im crazy, Mama thinks Im naive

But if I dont do it now then Ill never leave



Cause Ive driven every back road in this part of the state

Aint a girl in my graduation class that I didnt date

Tried everything on the menu down at Fiddlers Bar & Grill

I got a taste for something this town will never fill



Theres a great big world out there for me to see

I might sail a boat to China, chase dreams in Tennessee

Right now the motors running, just a few things I gotta do

Tell my friends goodbye

Drive these streets for one last time

Change that city limit sign

To "Population 4000 Minus 1"



Gonna see the bright lights, gonna make my mark

So many things Ive got to do I dont know where to starts

Play cards in Vegas, walk the beach at Malibu

Learn a few things that I never knew



Theres a great big world out there for me to see

Might play for the 49ers, Mardi Gras in New Orleans

Right now the motors running, just a few things I gotta do

Tell my friends goodbye

Drive these streets for one last time

Change that city limit sign

To "Population 4000 Minus 1"



Now Im stuck in New York City, staring at these walls

Thinking how the grass out here aint that green at all

Aint that green at all



Theres a great big world out there for me to see

I might wed a farmers daughter and raise a family

Right now the clock is ticking, just a few things I gotta do

Tell my friends goodbye

Ride that subway one last time

Change that city limit sign

To "Population 12 Million Minus 1"

To "Population 12 Million Minus 1"

Coming home, coming home
