The left turns I'm taking out of my home town don't seem right
I think I forgot something and it's slipping my mind
I packed up all my new clothes got rid of ones I'd outgrown
See you soons are now see you in a while
Big cardboard boxes are covering up my rear view now
The city lights behind me are getting dimmer as I go south
Outside is looking different I don't recognize it
I guess that happens when you leave home
As I'm driving far and further
Baby steps but this feels bigger
Growing up is coming quicker
I'm in a big city now
But somewhere in that small town
Miles away from down south
Where everyone's familiar and getting older
I wonder if they know about that all i do is think about
The streets and that shitty weather
I know you have to leave home
I know you have to let go
I did and I still know
No matter where you go somethings are in your bones
Somethings you never outgrow
Somethings you don't outgrow
I've always been the worst at answering my phone
But now I stare at it and wait for calls from home
I wonder what what your up to
Fill me in on what's new
Since I'm not there to see for myself
Brand new boarders, different faces
Wish there wasn't space between us
I brought all of my things here but
I left part of me there
Somewhere in that small town
Miles away from down south
Where everyone's familiar and getting older
I wonder if they think about that all i do is think about
The streets and that shitty weather
I know you have to leave home
I know you have to let go
I did and I still know
No matter where you go somethings are in your bones
Somethings you never outgrow
Somethings you don't outgrow
Oh I'll keep the pictures posted on the wall of you
And I'll send you every update of all the things I do
Oh those four walls where you stayed back I'll never forget
And I'll always find my way back
To our little small town
Miles away from down south
Where everyone's familiar and getting older
I wonder if they think about that all i do is think about
The streets and that shitty weather
I know you have to leave home
I know you have to let go
I did and I still know
No matter where you go somethings are in your bones
Somethings you never outgrow
Somethings you don't outgrow
Yea somethings you don't outgrow
