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