Kevin Sharp 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
