Kevin Sharp - Population 4000 Minus 1 lyrics

(chris farren/kevin sharp) 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 thinks i'm naive But if i don't do it now then i'll never leave Ain't a girl in my graduation cla** that i didn't date Tried everything on the menu down at fiddler's bar & 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 starts 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 Might play for the '49ers, mardi gras in new orleans 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" Now i'm stuck in new york city, staring at these walls Thinking how the gra** 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 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
