So the home town's bringin' you down Are you drownin' in the small talk and the chatter? Are you gonna step into line like your daddy done? Punchin' the time and climbing life's long ladder
You've been howlin' at the moon like a slack-jawed fool And breaking every rule they can throw on Well, one of these days is gonna be right soon You'll find your legs and go and stay gone
Young man, so full of big plans And thinkin' about tomorrow Young man, wanna make a stand You beg, you steal, you borrow You beg, you steal, you borrow
Now all the friends that you knew in school They used to be so cool, now they just bore you Just look at 'em now, already pullin' the plow So quick to take to grain like some old mule
Young man, so full of big plans
And thinkin' about tomorrow Young man, wanna make a stand You beg, you steal, you borrow You beg, you steal, you borrow
Dreamin' of the day you're gonna pack your bags And put the miles away Oh, just grab your girl and go where no one knows you What will all the old folks say?
