There aint a lot that you can do in this town
You drive down to the lake and then you turn back around
You go to school and you learn to read and write
So you can walk into the county bank and sign away your life

I work at the fillin station on the interstate
Pumpin gasoline and countin out of state plates
They ask me how far into memphis son, and wheres the nearest beer
And they dont even know that theres a town around here

Someday Im finally gonna let go
cause I know theres a better way
And I wanna know whats over that rainbow
Im gonna get out of here someday

Now my brother went to college cause he played football
Im still hangin round cause Im a little bit small
I got me a 67 chevy, shes low and sleek and black
Someday Ill put her on that interstate and never look back
