THAT BACKWARD TOWN
IN MY REARVIEW
WAS GONNA BE
MY WHOLE WORLD
'TIL MY FACTORY JOB
GOT SHIPPED TO MEXICO
AND MY FARM BOY
CHASED A CITY GIRL
I USED TO KNOW
EVERYBODY BY NAME
BUT EVERYBODY'S
MOVED AWAY
CAN'T SAY THAT
I'M REALLY WANTIN'
TO GO
BUT I'VE RUN OUT
OF REASONS TO STAY
THIS AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE
WHAT I
HAD IN MIND FOR ME
BUT THEN AGAIN
MY FUTURE
AIN'T WHAT IT
USED TO BE
I THOUGHT LIKE MY MOM
AND HER MAMA BEFORE
THAT I WOULD DIE
WHERE I WAS BORN
LIVE A SMALL TOWN
DREAM
IN A BIG BACKYARD
RAISIN' BABIES AND CORN
NOW HERE I AM
ONE EYE ON THE ROAD
TRYIN' TO READ
THE MAP ON THE DASH
NOWHERE CLOSE
TO MAKIN' UP MY MIND
WITH A FORK
IN THE ROAD
COMIN' FAST
THIS AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE
WHAT I
HAD IN MIND FOR ME
BUT THEN AGAIN
MY FUTURE
AIN'T WHAT IT
USED TO BE
NO THIS AIN'T
NOTHIN' LIKE WHAT I
HAD IN MIND FOR ME
BUT THEN AGAIN
MY FUTURE NOW
AIN'T WHAT IT
USED TO BE
THAT BACKWARD TOWN
IN MY REARVIEW
WAS GONNA BE
MY WHOLE WORLD
