(Verse 1)
I packed up my heart in a broke-down Ford
Left that goodbye on the kitchen floor
One last look at that old front porch
Then I turned my back and drove toward more
Found a sign said, Welcome to Copperline
One-stoplight, but the stars sure shine
Rolled down Main with the windows wide
Somethin’ in the breeze said you’ll be just fine
(Chorus)
It’s a new town, new bar, new band playin’
A neon light with my name sayin’
Girl, you’re stronger than the pain you knew
It’s a two-step night and a clean-slate view
Got a glass in hand and a chance to start
He’s pourin' whiskey and he’s got a kind heart
It ain’t about runnin’ from who I am
It’s a new town, new bar… and maybe a new man
(Verse 2)
He don’t ask 'bout the tears I’ve cried
Just says, “Hey darlin’, you’ve got that fire”
He laughs like he’s never been burned before
And I smile like I’ve never hurt before
Jukebox playin’ my old love song
But it don’t hit me like it did for so long
‘Cause tonight I’m dancin’ on brand new ground
In boots that ain’t seen this kind of town
(Chorus)
It’s a new town, new bar, new band playin’
A neon light with my name sayin’
Girl, you’re stronger than the pain you knew
It’s a two-step night and a clean-slate view
Got a glass in hand and a chance to start
He’s pourin' whiskey and he’s got a kind heart
It ain’t about runnin’ from who I am
It’s a new town, new bar… and maybe a new man
(Bridge)
Maybe he’s just a slow song fade
Or maybe he’s the kind that stays
But I’m not lookin' back again
Just forward with the wind
(Final Chorus)
It’s a new town, new bar, new band playin’
Fresh start glowin' where the hurt was layin’
Got nothin' left but the best of me
A wide-open road and the will to be free
Got a glass in hand and a fearless heart
He’s got a smile that could light up the dark
It ain’t about forgettin’ who I am
It’s a new town, new bar… and yeah, a good man
(Outro)
New boots, new town, and I’m standin’ tall
A little lost, but I’ve found it all
