Population 4000 Minus 1 Lyrics - Measure Of A Man - Kevin Sharp

Im proud of my history, proud of my home 

But there comes a time in a young boys life 

When he feels hes got to roam 

Daddy says Im crazy, Mama thinks Im naive 

But if I dont do it now then Ill never leave 

Cause Ive driven every back road in this part of the state 

Aint a girl in my graduation class that I didnt date 

I tried everything on the menu down at Fiddlers Bar & Grill 

I got a taste for somethin' this town will never fill 

Theres a great big world out there for me to see 

I might sail a boat to China, chase dreams in Tennessee 

Right now the motors runnin', just a few things I gotta do 

I gotta 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 Ive got to do, I dont know where to start 

Play cards in Vegas, walk the beach at Malibu 

Learn a few things that I never knew 

Theres a great big world out there for me to see 

I might play for the 49ers, Mardi Gras in New Orleans 

Right now the motors runnin', 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 Im stuck in New York City, starin' at these walls 

Just thinkin' how the grass out here aint that green at all 

Aint that green at all 

Theres 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 tickin', just a few things I gotta do 

I gotta 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' 

Comin' home, comin' home, comin' home
