๐ Lyrics
You never did care too much for this two lane town, did you, babe?
You've been talking 'bout getting out
Chasing them dreams down since seventh grade
And I can't blame you for the way God made you
You need more skyline than a water tower with your name on it
And I need more Chevrolet with a little bit of red dirt clay on it
And that's just you and that's just me
And that's just the way it's gotta be
Yeah, the main street's slow like them old tractor tires
Little rough around the edges, like that rusty barbed wire
Baby, I know that ain't your speed
That's why you can't stay, that's why I can't leave
You need more stations on your radio
Them kind of places where the corn don't grow
Baby, I love you, but we both got dreams
That's why you can't stay
That's why I can't leave
We had a good run under that southern sun, didn't we?
And you can call me up, and I'll fill you in
If you're missing this town and me
I need a front porch view, but you need a balcony and
No matter what, you know where I'll be
Where the main street's slow like them old tractor tires
Little rough around the edges, like that rusty barbed wire
Baby, I know that ain't your speed
That's why you can't stay
That's why I can't leave
You need more stations on your radio
Them kind of places where the corn don't grow
Baby, I love you, but we both got dreams
That's why you can't stay
That's why I can't leave
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, that's why I can't leave
Yeah, the main street's slow like them old tractor tires
Little rough around the edges like that rusty barbed wire
Baby, I know that ain't your speed
That's why your daddy's out there loading up your Jeep
Yeah, them Friday night lights ain't your kinda shine
Wish I could, but I can't say it ain't mine
Little town like this, what you get is what you see
That's why you can't stay
That's why I can't leave
No, I can't leave
You've been talking 'bout getting out
Chasing them dreams down since seventh grade
And I can't blame you for the way God made you
You need more skyline than a water tower with your name on it
And I need more Chevrolet with a little bit of red dirt clay on it
And that's just you and that's just me
And that's just the way it's gotta be
Yeah, the main street's slow like them old tractor tires
Little rough around the edges, like that rusty barbed wire
Baby, I know that ain't your speed
That's why you can't stay, that's why I can't leave
You need more stations on your radio
Them kind of places where the corn don't grow
Baby, I love you, but we both got dreams
That's why you can't stay
That's why I can't leave
We had a good run under that southern sun, didn't we?
And you can call me up, and I'll fill you in
If you're missing this town and me
I need a front porch view, but you need a balcony and
No matter what, you know where I'll be
Where the main street's slow like them old tractor tires
Little rough around the edges, like that rusty barbed wire
Baby, I know that ain't your speed
That's why you can't stay
That's why I can't leave
You need more stations on your radio
Them kind of places where the corn don't grow
Baby, I love you, but we both got dreams
That's why you can't stay
That's why I can't leave
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, that's why I can't leave
Yeah, the main street's slow like them old tractor tires
Little rough around the edges like that rusty barbed wire
Baby, I know that ain't your speed
That's why your daddy's out there loading up your Jeep
Yeah, them Friday night lights ain't your kinda shine
Wish I could, but I can't say it ain't mine
Little town like this, what you get is what you see
That's why you can't stay
That's why I can't leave
No, I can't leave
