Town Left Me

Almost the missed the turn to my mama's house Just lookin' around At all the things that have changed since I rolled out That brand new coffee shop used to be a gravel lot It was the home game hangout spot and now it's not And it's real clear to see That with or without me The sun'll go up, sun'll go down They'll widen the road on 58 South Out with the old, breakin' new ground Rippin' my roots and my heart right out Every time that I come back it's further from what it used to be I know I'm the one that left this town But it feels more like this town left me I just ran into Miss Robertson, my next door neighbor growin' up She said hi back, but I'm not sure that she recognized who I was How can a place such a part of me move right on without skippin' a beat? Cover my handprint with fresh concrete Pavin' over my memories The sun'll go up, sun'll go down They'll widen the road on 58 South Out with the old, breakin' new ground Rippin' my roots and my heart right out Every time that I come back it's further from what it used to be I know I'm the one that left this town But it feels more like this town left me, oh woah On the outside, lookin' in Wishin' I was part of it again I go back every time I can But time marches on like that high school band And that sun'll go up, it'll come down They'll widen the road on 58 South Out with the old, they're breakin' new ground And rippin' my roots and my heart right out Every time that I come back it's further from what it used to be I know I'm the one that left this town But it feels more like this town left me This town left me, this town left me
