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 
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 
And 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
