[Verse 1]
There ain't a lot that you can do in this town
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

[Verse 2]
Now, I work at the filling station on the interstate
Pumpin' gasoline and countin' out-of-state plates
They ask me, "How far into Memphis, son, where's the nearest beer?"
They don't even know there's a town around here, nah

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Now, my brother went to college 'cause he played football
I'm still hangin' 'round, 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

[Chorus]
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
Someday
