(kent blazy/skip ewing)



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
