So your home town is bringing ya down
Are ya drownin in the small talk and the chatter
Are ya gonna step into line like your daddy done

Punchin the time and climbing life's long ladder

You've been howling at the moon like a slack jawed fool

And breaking every rule they can throw on
But one of these days, it's gonna be right soon
You'll find your legs and go and stay gone


Young man full of big plans, and thinking about tomorrow
Young man gonna make a stand

ya beg, ya steal, ya borrow

Well all the friends that you knew in school

They used to be so cool
Now they just bore you


Well look at them now, already pulling the plow
So quick to take to grain, like some old mule


Young man full of big plans, and thinking about tomorrow
Young man gonna make a stand
ya beg, ya steal, ya borrow

Ya beg ya steal ya borrow

Dreaming of the day you're gonna pack your bags and put them miles away

Oh just grab your girl and go where no one knows you
What will all the old folks say


So your home town's bringing ya down.
Are ya drownin in the small talk and the chatter
Are ya gonna step into line like your daddy done

Punching the clock and climbing lifes long ladder

Young man, full of big plans and thinkin about tomorrow

Young man, gonna make a stand
ya beg ya steal ya borrow
Ya beg ya steal ya borrow
