Leaving Looks Good on You

[Verse 1]
You've been dodging potholes and "I love you's"
Since your daddy got a job here, two thousand and two
Big city dreamer with the small town blues
Yeah, you caught my heart and everybody's eye
At the karaoke bar singing "One Headlight"
Finished your drink, told me in the neon light
"I'm meant for more than this"
And I agreed with a kiss
And said

[Chorus]
Run, run, baby
Out of this town
If California's calling, go and chase it down
They can say it's cliché
You won't know until you go and find out
So, run, run, baby
Nothing to lose
Don't get hung up on these hometown roots
Yeah, I hate to admit it but we both know that it's true
Leaving looks good on you
On you
On you
Leaving looks good on you

[Verse 2]
Yeah, you looked real good in the photos of us
But you look so happy on a Greyhound bus
Window seat, waving at me
Through a cloud of dust
But it tore me up saying

[Chorus]
Run, run, baby
Out of this town
If California's calling, go and chase it down
They can say it's cliché
You won't know until you go and find out
So, run, run, baby
Nothing to lose
Don't get hung up on these hometown roots
Yeah, I hate to admit it but we both know that it's true
Leaving looks good on you
Run, baby, run, run, baby
On you
Run, baby, run, run, baby
On you
Run, baby, run, run, baby
Leaving looks good on you
Run, baby, run, run, baby

[Verse 3]
Yeah, the hometown said that you're gonna go far
And Hollywood said that you're gonna be a star
And I know what I said in the karaoke bar
But if you ever said you wanted back in my arms I'd say

[Chorus]
Run, run, baby
Out of that town
If California ain't where you wanna settle down
They can say it's cliché
You won't know until you go and find out
So, run, run, baby
Nothing to lose
If you're still hung up on these hometown roots
Show 'em all out there something I already knew
Leaving looks good on you

[Outro]
Run, baby, run, run, baby
On you
Run, baby, run, run, baby
On you
Run, baby, run, run, baby
Leaving looks good on you
Run, baby, run, run, baby
On you
On you
On you
Leaving looks good on you
