Owen McMahon - Pickin' a Town Lyrics

Man you know sometimes I think about just picking a town
Moving somewhere far away and picking up just to settle down
I'd have a car that works, a dog and old farmhouse front porch
A diner on the corner, get involved in local sports
Man you know sometimes I think about just picking a town

Man you know sometimes I think about just picking a job
Some real steady paid profession, I'd apply and work my way up to the top
Maybe I could be a teacher or a well-off business man
Or I could be a farmer, work outside and with my hands
Man you know sometimes I think about just picking a job

Man you know sometimes I wish that I could just find a girl
We'd go steady for a few years and form a mutual desire for the world
And the house, the kids, the finances and general adult life
I'd kiss her in the morning and I'd hold her through the night
Man you know sometimes I wish that I could just find a girl

Oh cuz it sure does seem a whole lot easier than this
To have some money and some company and a settled place to live
I'm not sure that I'd hate it but it just feels like a trick
To abandon the ambitions that I've had since I's a kid

And that's why whenever I think about just picking a town
I think of being middle-aged with dreams unchased and a life lived out of the lost and found
And I resolve to not give up or put it off another day
I'm not sure what I'm doing but I do it anyway
Cuz man I want more out of life than just picking a town
