(kent blazy/skip ewing) When i was a boy I'd get so annoyed Whenever it was pouring rain Standin' at the gla** door Starin' at the outside nose pressed against the pane I told my momma I don't wanna be stuck inside no more Give me thunder and lightnin', somethin' excitin' That's what i'm livin' for There's a world out there and i wanna be in it I got a life and i'm gonna live it Don't tell me the sky's the limit There's footprints on the moon I wanna do my walkin' down the road less traveled Sew my dreams where they won't unravel If you play it safe you won't get nowhere I can't stay in here when there's a world out there I remember back in school They thought i was a fool For askin' lizzy walker to the dance She was always with the captain of the football team Nobody thought i even have a chance But imagine my surprise When she looked me in the eyes And said i'll go with you instead I knew we'd be together for the rest of forever When lizzy looked at me and said Hey baby There's a world out there and i wanna be in it I got a life and i'm gonna live it Don't tell me the sky's the limit There's footprints on the moon I wanna do my walkin' down the road less traveled Sew my dreams where they won't unravel If you play it safe you won't get nowhere I can't stay in here when there's a world out there I imagine when they land on a brand new planet In some far off galaxy Somebody in the rocket's gonna look out the window Feeling just like lizzy and me There's a world out there and i wanna be in it I got a life and i'm gonna live it Don't tell me the sky's the limit There's footprints on the moon I wanna do my walkin' down the road less traveled Sew my dreams where they won't unravel If you play it safe you won't get nowhere I can't stay in here when there's a world out there If you play it safe you won't get nowhere You can't stay in here when there's a world out there (no, i just can't do it) There's a world out there (don't even try and play it safe) No, no, no (you're not gonna get anywhere) No, no, no
