Population 4000 Minus 1
(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

¡®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 & 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 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 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
