[Verse 1]
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 so you can learn to read and write
So you can walk into that county bank and sign away your life
Well I work at the fillin' station on the interstate
Pumpin gasoline and countin' out of state plates
They ask me how far into Memphis, son, and where's the nearest beer?
Hell they don't even know that there's a town around here

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

[Verse 2]
My brother went to college 'cause he played football
But I'm still hangin' 'round 'cause I'm a little bit small
But I got me a '67 Chevy, she's low and slick and black
Someday I'll put her on that interstate and never look back

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