Almost 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 hang out spot, and now it's not
And it's real clear to see
That we're through without means
The sun'll go up, sun'll go down
They'll widen the road on 58 south
Out with 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 who left this town but it feels more like this
Town left me
I just ran into Ms. Robinson
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 skipping a beat?
Cover my hand print with fresh concrete
Paintin' over my memories
The sun'll go up, the sun'll go down
They'll widen the road on 58 south
Out with the old, breaking new ground
Rippin my roots and my heart right out
Every time that I come back its further from what it used to be
I know I'm the one who left this town but it feels more like this
Town left me
Oh woah woah
On the outside looking in
Wishing I was part of it again
And 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 breaking new ground
And ripping my roots and my heart right out
Every time that I come back it's further from what it used to
I know I'm the one who left this town but it feels more like this
Town left me
This town left me
This town left me
