Aberdeen - Judy Collins, Ari Hest

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

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 this 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 go yeah

Every dollar I have saved

Every winter I have braved

Every road that I have paved

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

And I’ll never forget about you

We’ll meet again someday

But all I know is I can’t stay here

Every dollar I have saved

Every winter I have braved

Every road that I have paved

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
