Someday

Steve Earle

There ain't a lot that you can do in this town


You 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


I work at the fillin' station on the interstate


Pumpin' gasoline and countin' out of state plates


They ask me how far into Memphis son, and where's the nearest beer


And they don't even know that there's a town around here





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





Now my brother went to college cause he played football


I'm still hangin' round cause 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
