There ain't 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
                                                    
Now I work at the fillin station on the interstate
                                                     
I'm pumpin gasoline and countin out of state plates
                                                                  
They ask me how far into Memphis son and where's the nearest beer
                                                      
They don't even know that there's a town around here
                      
Someday I'm finally gonna let go
                          
Cause I know there's a better way
                              
And I wanna know what's over that rainbow
                                           
I'm gonna get out of here someday       someday
                                                         
Now my brother went to college cause he played football
                                                      
I'm still hangin' round cause I'm a little bit small
                                                  
I got me a 67 Chevy she's low and sleek and black

Someday I'll put her on that interstate and never look back
                      
Someday I'm finally gonna let go
                          
Cause I know there's a better way
                             
And I wanna know what's over that rainbow
                         
I'm gonna get out of here someday
                                      
I'm gonna get out of here someday
                                         
Someday           someday
