Aberdeen

(album: Silver Skies Blue - 2016)

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 want to 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 its charm
But when you see it 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 want to 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 want to know what life's all about
And I will get there

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 want to know what life's all about
And I will get there
I will get there
I will get there
