Go wherever you wanna go
Fly up to the moon and say hello now
You can go wherever you wanna go
You don't ever have to go to war no more
Never have to go to war no more
Wear them boots and swim that icy shore now
You don't ever have to go to war no more
You can get up on some sunny day and run
Run a hundred miles just for fun now
Heartaches and yesterdays don't weigh a ton now
You can get up on some sunny day and run
You don't ever have to pay the bills no more
Break a sweat or walk a worried floor now
Working like a dog ain't what you're for now
You don't ever have to pay the bills no more
You can go wherever you wanna go
You can go wherever you wanna go
Go to where the time's wound all the way down
Put a penny on the track and wait for train sounds
Tell your mama you're coming back before the sun's down
You can go wherever you wanna go
