Lyrics
You and I grew up in a mom and pop town
In the Carolina Bible Belt,
Before the mill jobs went to China,
Before tobacco went to hell.
Then they built that highway bypass,
And the world goes whizzing by.
It's progress I suppose,
Leaving mom and pop behind.
When this tiny town dries up and blows away,
I'll be loving you, still be loving you.
When there's nothing left but a road sign,
And today is yesterday,
I'll be loving you, still be loving you,
Cause some things never change.
You and I were the queen and the king at the high school.
Everybody cried when they tore it down.
We made out at the drive-in movie.
Abandoned trailers rot there now.
Time marches on and tramples
The way life used to be.
But the more I lose to the wrecking ball,
The more you mean to me.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Never gonna change the way I count on you,
To keep me going, like you do,
Reminding me there's nothing new
We can't get through together---
(REPEAT CHORUS)
