Population 4000 Minus 1
(Chris Farren/Kevin Sharp)
I뭢 proud of my history, proud of my home
But there comes a time in a young boy뭩 life
When he feels he뭩 got to roam
Daddy says I뭢 crazy, Mama thinks I뭢 naive
But if I don뭪 do it now then I뭠l never leave
멌ause I뭭e driven every back road in this part of the state
Ain뭪 a girl in my graduation class that I didn뭪 date
Tried everything on the menu down at Fiddler뭩 Bar & Grill
I got a taste for something this town will never fill
There뭩 a great big world out there for me to see
I might sail a boat to China, chase dreams in Tennessee
Right now the motor뭩 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 I뭭e got to do I don뭪 know where to starts
Play cards in Vegas, walk the beach at Malibu
Learn a few things that I never knew
There뭩 a great big world out there for me to see
Might play for the ?9ers, Mardi Gras in New Orleans
Right now the motor뭩 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 I뭢 stuck in New York City, staring at these walls
Thinking how the grass out here ain뭪 that green at all
Ain뭪 that green at all
There뭩 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
