I never thought that I'd be hanging around this damned old town
I always thought the world was flat, so I just kinda hung around
Well, I got a job, but it ain't much
Sure keeps my feet down on the ground
Well, I was born here, I was raised here
And I'll soon be appraised before I die
Yeah, I thought that I was real cool
They missed me at my high school by a mile
And everything I ever learned, I let it burn
With no return in that old file
Someday I'm gonna draw my own map, honey
I'm gonna nail it to the wall
Strike my course, dream a lot, and save my money
They're gonna miss me when I'm gone
They're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Well, if I have to drive this truck around this square
One more time I'm gonna to bust
Everybody follows everybody around
It's some silly kind of trust
Yeah, I trusted destination long enough
It rains a lot, I'm gonna rust
Yeah, I sit down in the parking lot
At Hy-vee after midnight and I cried
That old sorrow's getting to me
But tomorrow I still won't be satisfied
Yeah, I'm feeling all unraveled
Men, I throw a lot of gravel when I'm wild
Someday I'm gonna draw my own map, honey
I'm gonna nail it to the wall
Strike my course, dream a lot, and save my money
They're gonna miss me when I'm gone
They're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Everyone around here tells everyone around here what to do
Man, I just can't go for that
I can't stand for that, when they do that, can you?
My best thinking has kept me here
So I best think of ways that I can move
Someday I'm gonna draw my own map, honey
I'm gonna nail it to the wall
Strike my course, dream a lot, and save my money
They're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Someday I'm gonna draw my own map, honey
I'm gonna nail it to the wall
Strike my course, dream a lot, and save my money
They're gonna miss me when I'm gone
They're gonna miss me when I'm gone, yeah
They're gonna miss me when I'm gone
