[Verse 1]
I watched your taillights fade
past the feed store sign
Dust on that two-lane road
still hangs in my mind
You took the county line
like it owed you gold
Left me with a bench seat
and a half-told soul
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep that radio low
when the dark rolls in
'Cause every backroad memory
starts up again
And I can almost hear
your boots on the floor
Yeah, I know that sound
I've been here before
[Chorus]
Next town over
you’re still on my mind
I can’t leave you behind
If you call, I’m gone
if you don’t, I’ll stay
Next town over
you still pull me away
[Verse 2]
Mama asked me why
I still drive that way
Past the gas station light
and the ballfield gate
I said some goodbyes
ain’t really goodbye
They sit in the bed
of an old Ford ride
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep that radio low
when the dark rolls in
'Cause every backroad memory
starts up again
And I can almost hear
your boots on the floor
Yeah, I know that sound
I've been here before
[Chorus]
Next town over
you’re still on my mind
I can’t leave you behind
If you call, I’m gone
if you don’t, I’ll stay
Next town over
you still pull me away
[Bridge]
One red light
one wrong turn
One old song
and the spark still burns
Say my name
like you meant it then
I’d cross that line
and do it again
[Chorus]
Next town over
you’re still on my mind
I can’t leave you behind
If you call, I’m gone
if you don’t, I’ll stay
Next town over
you still pull me away
yeah, I’m headed your way
I was built to stray
