Leavin This Town

I was born on a two lane road where the streetlights barely glow Daddy worked the fields Mama kept our hearts whole But there's a fire in my chest and a dream too big to hold This small town life is a story I can't let unfold The church bell rings the tractor hums the only songs I've ever sung But there's a world out there that's calling my name I'm leaving this town behind chasing stars in an endless sky With a six string and a heart full of fight The highway's my only friend I don't know where it's gonna end But I'll keep rolling till I find my time Leaving this town behind Mama cried when I packed my bags Daddy just shook my hand Said You've got a dream boy go and take a stand There's a faded sign at the edge of town I see it in my mirror now Says Y'all come back but I don't know if I can Every mile feels like a choice every turn echoes my voice Singing freedom in the hum of my old car I'm leaving this town behind chasing stars in an endless sky With a six string and a heart full of fight The highway's my only friend I don't know where it's gonna end But I'll keep rolling till I find my time Leaving this town behind There's nights I'll miss that southern breeze The sound of crickets in the pine trees But dreams don't grow if they never leave And I've got a life I'm meant to lead I'm leavin' this town behind chasing stars in an endless sky With a six string and a heart full of fight The highway's my only friend I don't know where it's gonna end But I'll keep rolling till I find my time Leaving this town behind So here I go, one last glance I'm betting big on my one man chance With the wind at my back and my heart in the climb I'm leaving this town behind.
