Judy Collins - Aberdeen lyrics

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 I've seen pictures in magazines of skyscrapers and light displays And all that I can think about is getting away today Every dollar I have saved Every winter I have braved Every road that I have paved well Leads to somewhere Never was there any doubt I would make my way out I want to know what life's all about And I will get there Like clockwork the sun rises on my 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 it's clear I gotta do it Every dollar I have saved Every winter I have braved Every road that I have paved well Leads to somewhere Never was there any doubt I would make my way out I want to know what life's all about And I will get there When I get out of Aberdeen one of these days I'm not quite sure which way I'll lean But it won't matter anyway I'll never forget about you You and I, we'll meet again someday All I know is I can't stay Every dollar I have saved Every winter I have braved Every road that I have paved well Leads to somewhere Never was there any doubt I would make my way out I want to know what life's all about And I will get there Every dollar I have saved Every winter I have braved Every road that I have paved well Leads to somewhere Never was there any doubt I would make my way out I want to know what life's all about And I will get there I will get there I will get there
