[Tom]
In books, everybody has adventures
But for me, it's the same most everyday
And it's looks like it might be this way forever
But where there's a boy, there's a will, there's a way!

So here's my plan
One of these days
The sun will rise and it will find me on my way
I've worked it out
All in my head
And it's just like all them stories that I've read!
I'm on my way somewhere
I don't have any doubt
No telling what I'll find
But it's something I cannot live without
Nobody in this town understands
So here's my plan

I'll run away
Into the woods
Take to the trees and I will live like Robin Hood
Steal from the rich
Give to the poor
And I won't never have to go to school no more
I'll find a lady fair
Who'll offer me her heart
A single kiss we'll share
Oh the tears she will cry when I depart
On my way to far off lands!
So here's my plan
I will be a robber, I'll be a pirate too
To find my buried treasure, there's nothing I won't do
I'll navigate the river
I'll ride the wild frontier
All that's standing in my way is me just standing here
So here's my plan

Before too long
Everyone will turn around and I'll be gone
They'll search for me
Both high and low
But when they call and I don't come that's when they'll know
I'm on my way somewhere
I don't have any doubt
No telling what I'll find
But it's something I cannot live without
Nobody in this town understands
The future of the world is in my hands
Someday the boy is gonna be the man
And that's my plan
Oh don't tell me that I can't
Cause I can
And that's my plan!
