Population 4000 Minus 1 — текст песни (Sharp Kevin)

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
