When I get out of Aberdeen one of these days

Trade in the truck and these fields of green for a ticket on the airways

Ive seen pictures in magazines of skyscrapers and light displays

And all that I can think about is getting away



Every dollar I have saved

Every winter I have braved

Every road that I have paved

Leads to somewhere

Never was there any doubt

I would make my way out

I want to know what lifes all about

And I will get there



Like clockwork the sun rises on this farm

Brightens the hills and wakes the trees, this town has its charm

But when you see it day in and day out for over twenty years

What once was a choice becomes obvious, now its clear



Every dollar I have saved

Every winter I have braved

Every road that I have paved

Leads to somewhere

Never was there any doubt

I would make my way out

I want to know what lifes all about

And I will get there



When I get out of Aberdeen one of these days

Im not quite sure which way Ill lean,

but it wont matter anyway

And Ill never forget about you,

Well meet again someday

But all I know is I cant stay
