Aberdeen

When I get out of Aberdeen one of these days
 Trade in the truck and these fields of green for a ticket on the airways
 I've seen pictures in magazines of skyscrapers and light displays
 And all that I can think about is getting away, today
 Every dollar I have saved
 Every winter I have braved
 Every road that I have paved
 Leads to somewhere
 Never was there any doubt
 I would make my way out
 I want to know what life's all about
 And I will get there
 Like clockwork the sun rises on this farm
 Brightens the hills and wakes the trees, this town has its charm
 But when you see it day in and day out for over twenty years
 What once was a choice becomes obvious, now it's clear,
 I gotta go yeah
 Every dollar I have saved
 Every winter I have braved
 Every road that I have paved
 Leads to somewhere
 Never was there any doubt
 I would make my way out
 I want to know what life's all about
 And I will get there
 When I get out of Aberdeen one of these days
 I'm not quite sure which way I'll lean,
 But it won't matter anyway
 And I'll never forget about you,
 We'll meet again someday
 But all I know is I can't stay here
 Every dollar I have saved
 Every winter I have braved
 Every road that I have paved
 Leads to somewhere
 Never was there any doubt
 I would make my way out
 I want to know what life's all about
 And I will get there
