Population 4000 minus 1

I'm proud of my history, proud of my home
But there comes a time in a young boy's life
When he feels he's got to roam
Daddy says I'm crazy, mama think I'm naive
But if I don't do it now then I'll
Never leave
'Cause I've driven every back road in this
Part of the state
Ain't a girl in my graduation class that I
Didn't date
Tried everything on the menu down at
Fiddler's bar and grill
I got a taste for something this town will never fill
There's a great big world out there for
Me to see
I might sail a boat to China, chase dreams
In Tennessee
Right now the motor's 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 I've got to do I don't know
Where to start
Play cards in Vegas, walk the beach at Malibu
Learn a few things that I never knew
There's a great big world out there for
Me to see
Night play for the '4pers, Mardi Gras
In New Orleans
Right now the motto's 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 I'm stuck in New York City, staring at
These walls
Thinking how the grass out here ain't that
Green at all
Ain't that green at all
There's a great big world out there for
Me to see
I might wed a farmer's 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 4000 Minus 1"
To "Population 4000 Minus 1"
Coming home, coming home
