THERE'S ONE WAY IN
AND ONE WAY OUT
OF THIS LITTLE
MISSISSIPPI TOWN
THOSE OLD DIRT ROADS
AND DOWN-HOME FOLKS
JUST MAKE YOU
WANNA HANG AROUND
HANG AROUND
THEY JUST
BROKE GROUND
OUTSIDE OF TOWN
FOR A HOME
IMPROVEMENT STORE
I GUESS MR. JOHNSON
WON'T BE SELLIN'
MANY HAMMERS
AT HIS HARDWARE
ANYMORE
AND ALL THE DREAMS
THAT WE'VE
BEEN LIVIN' FOR
WELL THEY'RE GOIN'
GOIN' GONE
LIKE A
CLEAR BLUE RIVER
OR AN OLD
HANK WILLIAMS SONG
IT MAKES
A COUNTRY BOY
WANNA MOVE ON
IT'S GOIN' GOIN' GONE
THEY'RE GONNA
BUILD A FOUR LANE
THAT COMES REAL CLOSE
TO MOM AND
DADDY'S BACKYARD
IT'LL WIND AROUND
AND HEAD SOUTHBOUND
THROUGH THE HEART
OF MY
BEST FRIEND'S FARM
WE USED TO
SMOKE CIGARETTES
BEHIND THAT BARN
BUT IT'S GOIN'
GOIN' GONE
LIKE A
CLEAR BLUE RIVER
OR AN OLD
HANK WILLIAMS SONG
IT MAKES
A COUNTRY BOY
WANNA MOVE ON
IT'S GOIN' GOIN' GONE
WELL MY
PICKUP'S PACKED
AND MY
DOG'S IN THE BACK
AND THERE'S A BIG LUMP
IN MY THROAT
GONNA DRY MY EYES
AND DRIVE ONE LAST TIME
DOWN THAT
OLD FORGOTTEN ROAD
A-HERE I GO
AND I'M GOIN'
GOIN' GONE
LIKE A
CLEAR BLUE RIVER
LISTENIN' TO AN OLD
HANK WILLIAMS SONG
THIS COUNTRY BOY'S
GOTTA MOVE ON
AND THIS AIN'T NO
PLACE LIKE HOME
I'M GOIN' GOIN' GONE
I'M GOIN' GOIN' GONE
YEAH
