Lyrics

Here I am on the shoulder of this highway, thinking bout the place I once called home - They say that when you leave the way I did you can?t go back, in a few more minutes, we?re gonna know - So I pop the clutch and throw this sucker into gear, gonna find out if this no where town remembers me - Yeah it?s been 11 years since I?ve last showed my face round here, And I guess we?re, finally gonna see, If they missed me - Cause I can?t remember anything about this place I like, and I can?t recall what made me run away - (Chorus) Yeah I fought a lot, I drank too much and I broke a lot of hearts, but that?s just me - And I ain?t changing, for no one, no matter what they say - Yeah it?s the way I?m gonna be till the day I die - That?s why I?m gone, gone, gone, gone, gone (2x) - Yeah I loved a lot of girls who loved me back, but I remember all the locals here couldn?t preciate that - And I still recall the day that preacher Johnson said to me, your smoking and your drinking gotta stop boy - Cause I can?t remember anything about this place I like, and I can?t recall what made me run away - (Chorus) - So I ought not stay too long yeah I best be on my way, cuz I know I?m not their favorite native son - But maybe one last thing before I leave for good, I?ll see if preacher Johnson?s daughter?s still around She?s about the only thing I only like about this place, now I recall what made me run away (Chorus)
