There ain't a lot that you can do in this town
Drive down to the lake and then you turn back around
Go to school and 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 girl, 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
I know there's a better way
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 plays football
Me I never even got through High School at all
I got me a 67 Chevy, she's low and sleek and black
Someday I'll put her on the Interstate and never look back

Someday I'm finally gonna let go
I know there's a better way
I wanna know what's over that rainbow
I'm gonna get out of here some,
I'm gonna get out of here someday
Someday, someday
