lyrics

Swore I’d leave this town in the dust
Come back now to see it all gone to rust
Aint it funny how nothign seems to change
Still somehow nothing feels the same
Feels the same

Only had two stations on the radio
One preached god, the other would save your soul
Like a rose in the yard where the grass is overgrown
Forgotten, but blooming on my own
On my own

Like a bird on a wire wishing it was a tree
I had to find out what it felt like to be free
Cause this home on the range was never quite my own
Oh you’ll be there and ill be too far gone

I remember where that old dog used to lay
Outside of the motel in the sun all day
The sign still says vacant now, that’s true
I guess that’s all that’s left of me and you
Me and you

And I can still feel the wind in your beat up pickup truck
Down the backroads we found love
It was kind it was sweet it was simple it was true
And everything I needed out of you
From you

Like a bird on a wire wishing it was a tree
Wish it was a tree
I had to find out what it felt like to be free
Felt like to be free
Cause this home on the range was never quite my own
Never quite my own
Oh, you’ll be there and I’ll be too far gone

Oh, the look you gave in my rearview
That’s not how I wanted to remember you
Not a day goes by I don’t think of you
Anymore

Like a bird on a wire wishing it was a tree
Wish it was a tree
I had to find out what it felt like to be free
Felt like to be free
Cause this home on the range was never quite my own
Never quite my own
Oh, you’ll be there and I’ll be too far gone

Swore I’d leave this town in the dust
