We weren't Dallas, we weren't Austin or San Antone
We were somewhere in between I-ten and dirt nobody drove
Seven thousand, on that population sign
Big enough for most folks dreams but way too small for mine, at the time
Now these days
I'd trade this interstate for a no lane back road slow down
I'd take an old porch light over skylines high rises anytime
I've been sitting at an intersection
With my heart going two directions
Of where I am and where I left it
Back in that small town in Texas
It ain't the leaving, yeah I do that just fine
It's the getting where you're going and missin' what you left behind
I'm not saying I regret it, I'd probably do it all again
But I just can't help but think every now and then
I'd trade this interstate for a no lane back road slow down
I'd take an old porch light over skylines high rises anytime
I've been sitting at an intersection
With my heart going two directions
Of where I am and where I left it
Back in that small town in Texas
Small town in Texas
Back where the Guadalupe bends, where I keep my way back whens
If the dream I'm here to chase was in that lone star state
I'd trade this interstate for a no lane back road slow down
I'd take an old porch light over skylines high rises anytime
I've been sitting at an intersection
With my heart going two directions
Of where I am and where I left it
Back in that small town in Texas
Small town in Texas
I'm missing that small town in Texas
