Standard (EADGBE)

There ain't a lot that you can do in this town

You drive down to the lake and then you turn back around

You go to school and you learn to read and write

So you can walk into the county bank and sign away your life

Now I work at the fillin station on the interstate

I'm pumpin gasoline and countin out of state plates

They ask me how far into Memphis son 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

Cause I know there's a better way

And 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 played football

I'm still hangin' round cause I'm a little bit small

I got me a 67 Chevy she's low and sleek and black

Someday I'll put her on that interstate and never look back

Someday I'm finally gonna let go

Cause I know there's a better way

And I wanna know what's over that rainbow

I'm gonna get out of here someday

I'm gonna get out of here someday

Someday someday
