Left This Town

[Verse 1]
No one ever leaves this town
At least that's what I've been told
Your roots are in this ground
This is where you're supposed to get old
It ain't far from the fast ol' four lane and we both made our jokes
About making a break for it one day
But I never had the guts to go

[Chorus]
I remember last December
Standing on the edge of town
Watching that north wind carry you out
With all of my dreams, I still can't believe
Driving these streets and looking around
I thought nobody left this town

[Verse 2]
You were always the bright light kind who found a way to get away
You never said what you were hoping to find
So I tell myself you needed some space
It wasn't me and it wasn't this place

[Chorus x2]

[Outro]
Yeah no one ever leaves this town
At least that's what I've been told
