Almost the missed the turn to my mama's house
Just lookin' around
At all the things that have changed since I rolled out
That brand-new coffee shop
Used to be a gravel lot
It was the home game hangout spot and now it's not


And it's real clear to see
That with or without me


Sun'll go up, sun'll go down
They'll widen the road on 58 South
Out with the old, breakin' new ground
Rippin' my roots and my heart right out
Every time that I come back
It's further from what it used to be
I know I'm the one that left this town
But it feels more like this town left me


I just ran into Miss Robertson
My next door neighbor growin' up
Shе said hi back, but I'm not sure that
She recognizеd who I was
How can a place such a part of me
Move right on without skippin' a beat?
Cover my handprint with fresh concrete
Pavin' over my memories



The sun'll go up, sun'll go down
They'll widen the road on 58 South
Out with the old, breakin' new ground
Rippin' my roots and my heart right out
Every time that I come back
It's further from what it used to be
I know I'm the one that left this town
But it feels more like this town left me
Oh woah


On the outside, lookin' in
Wishin' I was part of it again
I go back every time I can
But time marches on like that high school band


And that sun'll go up, it'll come down
They'll widen the road on 58 South
Out with the old, they're breakin' new ground
And rippin' my roots and my heart right out
Every time that I come back
It's further from what it used to be
I know I'm the one that left this town
But it feels more like this town left me
This town left me
This town left me
