How Can You Expect A Man To Live In A Cage When He's Had The Taste Of Freedom?

So your home town's bringing you down,
Are you drowing in the small talk
and the chatter?

Are you gonna step into line like your daddy done
Punching the time and climbing life's long ladder?
One of these days it's gonna be right soon
You'll find your legs and go and stay gone.

Young man full of big plans and thinking about tomorrow.
Young man going to make a stand
You beg, steal you borrow.
You beg you steal you borrow.

Well all the friends that you knew in school
They used to be so cool and they just bore you.
Well look at them now, already pulling the plow
So quick to take to grain and some moarn you.

Dreaming of the day
You're gonna pack your bags
Put the miles away.
Oh, just grab your girl and go
Where no one knows you
What will all the old folks say?

Young man full of big plans and thinking about tomorrow.
Young man going to make a stand
You beg, steal you borrow.
You beg you steal you borrow.
