Podunk

[Verse 1:]
Same Saturday night
Same ol' crowd
Draggin' Main to the Safeway
Then we turn back around

'Til curfew then head
Down to the river's edge and get drunk
Ain't nothing new what else
You gonna do out in Podunk

Well
I knew this six-string was my ticket out
No flashing red light was gonna slow me down

18 years old
Everything that I owned in the back of that truck
I put a dip in my mouth
And I headed straight out outta Podunk

[1st Chorus:]
Goodbye
Daddy looked me in the eye, said
"Go where you gotta go
But don't forget to call home."

And Momma cried
"Keep Jesus in your life"
And I hugged her one last time

And then I headed down the road
In a dusty cloud of smoke
Out of Podunk

[Verse 2:]
A lot of years gone
By showing on my face
Nothing in this life that time hasn't changed
I chased a lot of dreams
And some of them came true

Ain't it funny how the very place
I ran from is the place
I'm runnin' to

Another Saturday night
Singing to the same ol' crowd
Still playing this six-string
But things are different now

I met one of those girls
Turn your whole world around girls
And wouldn't you know it
We got our eyes on a house 'bout a hundred miles south
Out in Podunk

[2nd Chorus:]
Goodbye
Her daddy looked me in the eye
And said, "Go where you gotta go, son
But don't forget to call home."

And her momma cried, said
"Keep Jesus in your life"
And we hugged her one last time

Then we headed down the road
To start a family of our own
Out in Podunk

[Repeat 2nd Chorus x2]
