Album: Turn It Up (2014)

Left This Town

Yeah, no one ever leaves this town, at least that's what I've been told
Your roots are in this ground, this is where you're supposed to get old
It ain't far from the fast ol' four lane and we both made our jokes
About making a break for it one day, but I never had the guts to go

I remember last December,
Standing on the edge of town
Watching that north wind carry you out
With all of my dreams, I still can't believe
Driving these streets and looking around,
I thought nobody left this town

You were always the bright light kind who found a way to get away
You never said what you were hoping to find
So I tell myself you needed some space,
It wasn't me and it wasn't this place

I remember last December,
Standing on the edge of town
Watching that north wind carry you out
With all of my dreams, I still can't believe
Driving these streets and looking around,
I thought nobody left this town

Yeah, I remember that cold December,
Standing on the edge of town
Watching that north wind carry you out
With all of my dreams, I still can't believe
Driving these streets and looking around,
I thought nobody left this town
Ever left this town

Yeah no one ever leaves this town, at least that's what I've been told
