Saw Me Here

[Verse 1]
Had a tenth grade teacher, nonbeliever
Tellin' me to just drop out
"One day, you'll see, nothing's all you'll be"
Were the last words outta her mouth
They saw me leave that school that sophomore year
But never saw me here

[Verse 2]
Had a couple people tell me to leave that
Six-string in the pawn shop
That my dream was so outta reach
I'd never see the top
I saw me playin' for tips and cheap cold beer
But never saw me here

[Chorus]
I thought I'd be stuck in that town
Workin' that clock 'til the sun goes down
Drinkin' my dreams away in a dive bar chair
That two-lane truck that I was drivin' around
Is nowhere near where I am right now
Even that boy lookin' back in the rearview mirror
Never saw me here

[Verse 3]
There's a hometown girl that my whole world
Was supposed to be spinnin' 'round
A five-acre field with some rollin' hills
And roots to be planted down
I saw us makin' memories way out there
I never saw me here

[Chorus]
I thought I'd be stuck in that town
Workin' that clock 'til the sun goes down
Drinkin' my dreams away in a dive bar chair
That two-lane truck that I was drivin' around
Is nowhere near where I am right now
Even that boy lookin' back in the rearview mirror
Never saw me

[Bridge]
Standin' on stage, singin' my songs
With all of y'all there, singin' along
Some days, I wake up and don't understand it
And not a day goes by I take it for granted

[Chorus]
I thought I'd be stuck in that town
Workin' that clock 'til the sun goes down
Drinkin' my dreams away in a dive bar chair
I swear that two-lane truck that I was drivin' around
Is nowhere near where I am right now
Even that boy lookin' back in the rearview mirror
Never saw me, never saw me here
