Lyrics
I never thought that I'd be hanging round this damned old town
I always thought the world was flat so I just kind of hung around
I got a job but it ain't much, it keeps my feet down on the ground
Well I was born here, I was raised here, so
I'm bound to be appraised here after a while
Yeah I thought that I was real cool, man
They missed me at the high school by a mile
And everything I ever learned I let it
Burn with no return in that old fire
Someday I'm gonna draw my own map honey
And I'm gonna nail it to the wall
Chart my course, dream a lot and save my money
They're gonna miss me when I'm gone
They're gonna miss me when I'm gone
If I have to drive this truck around
The square one more time I'm gonna bust
Everybody follows everybody, man that's some silly kind of trust
Yeah I've trusted destination long
Enough, it rains a lot, I'm gonna rust
Well I sat down in the parking lot of
The cafe after midnight and I cried
That old sorrow's getting to me but
Tomorrow I still won't be satisfied
Yeah I'm feeling all unraveled, man I
Throw a lot of gravel when I'm wired
Someday I'm gonna draw my own map honey
And I'm gonna nail it to the wall
Chart my course, dream a lot and save my money
They're gonna miss me when I'm gone
They're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Well everyone in town here tells everyone around here what to do
Man I just can't go for that, I can't
Stand for that, well neither that can you
My best thinking's kept me here so
I best think of ways that I can move
Someday I'm gonna draw my own map honey
And I'm gonna nail it to the wall
Chart my course, dream a lot and save my money
They're gonna miss me when I'm gone
They're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Yeah, they're gonna miss me when I'm gone
