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 well

Leads to somewhere

Never was there any doubt

I would make my way out

I wanna know what life's all about

And

I will get there

Like clockwork the sun rises on my farm

Brightens the hills and wakes the trees

This town has it's charm

But hmm goin' to see a day in and day out

For over twenty years

What once was a choice becomes obvious

Now it's clear

I gotta do it

Every dollar I have saved

Every winter I have braved

Every road that I have paved well

Leads to somewhere

Never was there any doubt

I would make my way out

I wanna 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

I'll never forget about you

You and I we'll meet again someday

All I know is I can't stay

Every dollar I have saved

Every winter I have braved

Every road that I have paved well

Leads to somewhere

Never was there any doubt

I would make my way out

I wanna know what life's all about

And

I will get there

Every dollar I have saved

Every dollar

Every winter I have braved

Every winter

Every road that I have paved well

Leads to somewhere

Never was there any doubt

Never was there

I would make my way out

I wanna know what life's all about

And

I will get there

I will get there

I will get there
