Didn’t Think I’d Miss

[Verse 1]
Growin' up in an ain't-goin'-nowhere town
Everywhere else looked better
To a boy feelin' stuck 'tween a barbed wire and dust
In a truck that the rust held together
I put some gone on that two-lane
The only way out and in
Told myself I'd never look back
But here I go again

[Chorus]
Thinkin' 'bout things I didn't think I'd miss
Backroad buzzin' where the train track splits
A hometown girl and her goodbye kiss
Just thinkin' 'bout things I didn't think I'd miss
Walkin' tall in a jersey with my daddy's last name
Couple wild nights that earned me that small-town fame
Sittin' here, leanin' back, takin' a sip
Just thinkin' 'bout things I didn't think I'd miss, yeah

[Verse 2]
I can still smell the smoke from the bonfire glow
Mixed with whiskey and her perfume
Sneakin' off to the woods, gettin' up to no good
'Cause there wasn't nothin' better to do
I put that song on the stereo
And she's back in my arms again
Thought it'd be easy to let her go
But now I just can't quit

[Chorus]
Thinkin' 'bout things I didn't think I'd miss
Backroad buzzin' where the train track splits
A hometown girl and her goodbye kiss
Just thinkin' 'bout things I didn't think I'd miss
Walkin' tall in a jersey with my daddy's last name
Couple wild nights that earned me that small-town fame
Sittin' here, leanin' back, takin' a sip
Just thinkin' 'bout things I didn't think I'd miss, yeah

[Chorus]
Thinkin' 'bout things I didn't think I'd miss
The more I drink, the longer the list
That hometown girl and her goodbye kiss
Thinkin' 'bout things I didn't think I'd miss
Walkin' tall in a jersey with my daddy's last name
Couple wild nights that earned me that small-town fame
Sittin' here, leanin' back, takin' a sip
Just thinkin' 'bout things I didn't think I'd miss, yeah
Just thinkin' 'bout things I didn't think I'd miss, mm
