Quit my job, ain't got no money Seems I have to leave this town Board the train that's eastward bound Packed my bags, run to the station Tell mama and all the folks back home Sometimes a man just feels He's got to make it alone Tell mama why I'm leaving

And it's coming closer Stranded in this spooky town Stoplight is swaying and the phone lines are down Floor is crackling cold She took my heart, I think she took my soul With the moon I run Far from the carnage of the fiery sun Driven by the strangle of

I'm torn and it's tearing me apart, I want to go but I don't want to break her heart, Like a sword with a double edge blade, It's gonna cut deep either way, This little town that big old world, Go chase my dream and keep the girl, This life is full of

If I ever left this town If I wasn't by your side I'm your girl and you're my man And we're makin' plans I'd never settle down I'd just be wanderin' around I'd never be satisfied Nothin' would feel just right Cause I'm not easy to understand

Oh, my beautiful summer How the winter makes me wonder Where you've gone And I'm left in this lonely town I hear you calling me, hear you calling me, yeah Everytime that I say goodbye Every night when I close my eyes I hear you calling me, hear you

I'm a riser I'm a get up off the ground, don't run and hider When darkness comes to town, I'm a lighter Hey I'm a fighter A get out aliver, of the fire, survivor Lay your pretty head down on my shoulder You don't have to worry anymore This old world is

To this railroad track But I'll come back to you someday To you, to you, to you someday If you've got visions of the past Let them follow you down And I found myself attached All of these ghost towns I keep traveling through All of these traffic signs

Give me back my hometown 'Cause this is my hometown Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah Ah ooh, yeah, yeah Damn, I used to love this view Sit here and drink a few Main street and the high school lit up on Friday night Down there it's another touchdown

Watch me, do this Watch me, watch me (Yeah!) That's what they yell when we come around (Yeah!) This is your town? Well we run it now (Yeah!) How big is your army, a hunnit thou? (Yeah!) If you want the rain then we comin' down Look, watch me, watch me

I wouldn't have it any other way Here I go, down this road Another town, another state All I want, is to sing my songs Hearing that crowd, keeps me going Guitars rocking, wheels rolling Counting the lines on a highway road Mile one by one Flying through
