[Verse 1]
You ran outta options on your own hometown streets,
Now your GPS keeps chasing fresh receipts.
County after county, hoping nobody knows,
Funny how your reputation always beats where you go.
You got big opinions with an empty gas tank,
Borrowing tomorrow just to fill up today.
Talk a real good game till the bill comes due,
Then suddenly everybody else owes you.
[Pre-Chorus]
You swear you’re just “misunderstood.”
Boy, bless your heart, I wish you would.
[Chorus]
You’re a county line Romeo,
Fresh start every week or so.
New girl, same old story,
Different cast, same category.
Got a wallet on a diet,
Promises on overload.
You keep burning every bridge, then wonder
Why you’re driving so many back roads.
You ain’t impossible to love…
You’re just impossible to keep believing.
[Verse 2]
You collect second chances like baseball cards,
Lose ‘em just as fast and blame the stars.
Every ex is “crazy,” every friend did wrong,
Kinda weird you’re the only thing common to ’em all.
You disappear like rent on payday,
Pop back up when life gets slow.
Got commitment issues doing cartwheels
Anywhere your feelings gotta grow.
[Pre-Chorus]
You keep saying, “That’s not fair.”
Funny… that’s what everybody else says too.
[Chorus]
You’re a county line Romeo,
Running out of places left to go.
Same old lines with a different name,
Changing jerseys, same damn game.
Pocket full of excuses,
Bank account on airplane mode.
Always looking for somebody
To carry half your load.
You ain’t cursed by bad luck…
You’re just catching up to yourself.
[Bridge]
You could’ve built a home by now
With all the bridges that you burned.
Could’ve bought a clue or two
With every lesson never learned.
You call it “starting over.”
The rest of us call it reruns.
[Final Chorus]
Here’s to all the county lines,
All the fresh beginnings.
Funny how the scenery changes,
But the ending’s always written.
Hope one day the map runs out
And you’re finally forced to stay.
‘Cause maybe then you’ll meet the one guy
You’ve been outrunning anyway.
Turns out the longest road you drove…
…was the one away from accountability.
