Sun’s goin’ down on Main Street lights
Same old cars, same Friday nights
My name still carved in that old bench seat
High school dreams and broken knees
Mama waves from the front porch step
Says, “Don’t forget where you came from yet”
I nod my head, but I already know
Some goodbyes don’t say hello
My bags are packed, but my heart’s still here
Every mile makes it more unclear
I’m leavin’ town, but it won’t leave me
Every road knows how to reach me
I chase a dream down a highway line
But I’m lookin’ back every time
They say I’ll grow if I let it go
But this place made me who I am
I’m learnin’ how to say goodbye
To the only life that understands
That gas station by the railroad tracks
Where we swore we’d never come back
Now it’s playin’ on the radio
Every song I used to know
I see my past in a rearview glance
First slow kiss, first dumb chance
Funny how the farther I get
The harder it is to forget
New city signs, unfamiliar names
But my heart still knows these lanes
I’m leavin’ town, but it won’t leave me
Every road knows how to reach me
I chase a dream down a highway line
But I’m lookin’ back every time
They say I’ll grow if I let it go
But this place made me who I am
I’m learnin’ how to say goodbye
To the only life that understands
Bridge (Drop, rhythmic)
Half a tank and a head full of doubt
Tryna figure this freedom out
If I make it big or I fall apart
This town still owns a piece of my heart
I’m leavin’ town, but it raised me
Every crack in the road shaped me
If I get lost in a bigger sky
I know where my roots still lie
I’ll wear the miles, I’ll wear the pain
Like a badge I never planned
I’m learnin’ how to say goodbye
To the place that made me who I am
Last exit sign, I don’t slow down
But part of me stays in that town
