Hey, Weirdo

[Verse 1]
You draw a map on the diner napkin
Put a blue dot where the highway ends
Everybody says, “That road goes nowhere”
You say, “Good, then we can start again”

[Pre-Chorus]
They call it odd when you change the plan
Call it strange when you see ahead
But the ones who laugh at the crooked line
May be following where you led

[Chorus]
Hey, weirdo, keep that big idea
The world’s just late; it’ll get here
You’re not too much, you’re out in front
Making tomorrow from scraps and hunches
Hey, weirdo, let your colors run
They’ll call it genius when it’s done

[Verse 2]
You built a little windmill from a fan
And a cardboard box from the corner store
Your neighbor shook his head at the racket
Now his tomatoes grow by the door

[Pre-Chorus]
They call it odd when you change the plan
Call it strange when you see ahead
But the ones who laugh at the crooked line
May be following where you led

[Chorus]
Hey, weirdo, keep that big idea
The world’s just late; it’ll get here
You’re not too much, you’re out in front
Making tomorrow from scraps and hunches
Hey, weirdo, let your colors run
They’ll call it genius when it’s done

[Bridge]
So save the notes on the paper plate
Keep the sketch with the coffee stain
Every “why would you?” can wait its turn
Some day they’ll ask how you made it work

[Final Chorus]
Hey, weirdo, keep that big idea
The world’s just late; it’ll get here
You’re not too much, you’re out in front
Making tomorrow from scraps and hunches
Hey, weirdo, let your colors run
They’ll call it genius when it’s done
Hey, weirdo, keep that big idea
The world’s just late; it’ll get here
