When I was a boy I'd get so annoyed Whenever it was pouring rain Standin' at the glass door Starin' at the outside nose pressed against the pane I told my momma I don't wanna be stuck inside no more Give me thunder and lightnin', somethin' excitin' That's what I'm livin' for
There's a world out there and I wanna be in it I got a life and I'm gonna live it Don't tell me the sky's the limit There's footprints on the moon I wanna do my walkin' down the road less traveled Sew my dreams where they won't unravel If you play it safe you won't get nowhere I can't stay in here when there's a world out there
I remember back in school They thought I was a fool For askin' Lizzy Walker to the dance She was always with the captain of the football team Nobody thought I even have a chance But imagine my surprise When she looked me in the eyes And said I'll go with you instead I knew we'd be together for the rest of forever When Lizzy looked at me and said Hey baby
There's a world out there and I wanna be in it I got a life and I'm gonna live it Don't tell me the sky's the limit There's footprints on the moon I wanna do my walkin' down the road less traveled Sew my dreams where they won't unravel If you play it safe you won't get nowhere I can't stay in here when there's a world out there
I imagine when they land on a brand new planet In some far off galaxy Somebody in the rocket's gonna look out the window Feeling just like Lizzy and me
There's a world out there and I wanna be in it I got a life and I'm gonna live it Don't tell me the sky's the limit There's footprints on the moon I wanna do my walkin' down the road less traveled Sew my dreams where they won't unravel If you play it safe you won't get nowhere I can't stay in here when there's a world out there
If you play it safe you won't get nowhere You can't stay in here when there's a world out there
(No, I just can't do it) There's a world out there (Don't even try and play it safe) No, no, no (You're not gonna get anywhere) No, no, no
