Lyrics

My hometown sat a hundred miles from anything at all Just to fit in you had to keep your dreams And hope for something very small So I grew up fast and just got past that last year of high school Worked all summer at Rosie's Diner trying to figure out what to do So I traded my last paycheck for a ride on Greyhound headed west Had no place in mind but I had time to figure out the rest 'Cause I believe that where you begin and where you end They're nowhere near the paradise you find in the journey There's a whole wide world out there I still don't know But I'm learning THE IN'S & OUTS as I go I met a girl in the Golden State who was hard to overlook When she took me down by the bay I knew this wouldn't be by the books So we played guitar on the beach all night singing every song we had But when I woke up she was long gone Left just a heart traced in the sand Now I'm nobody's fool but she gave plenty to keep me guessing School's out but I might just need her to give me another lesson 'Cause I believe that where you begin and where you end They're nowhere near the paradise you find in the journey There's a whole wide world out there I still don't know But I'm learning THE IN'S & OUTS as I go Back to the drawing board And come away with a little more than I had before Where you begin and where you end They're nowhere near the paradise you find in the journey My friend, you know that there's a whole wide world out there That we still don't know But I'm learning THE IN'S & OUTS as I go
