Intro: (2x) verse 1 I know all the ghosts that walk these streets People die, babies cry, and never leave No one wants these gravel roads to end There's a train every 2: 15 That always was and always gonna be Daughters to mothers, Daughters to mothers, to mothers, again It's so hard to leave my hometown world I try to be a hometown girl But in a car in the high school parking lot, I know I'm not. verse 2 In the crowd on graduation day You can see the ones that wish they got away One on the hip, one on the way But way back here is branded on my heart I wish so bad I could play the part It's where I am in my glory days It's so hard to leave my hometown world I try to be a hometown girl But in a car in the high school parking lot, I know I'm not. Bridge It's holding on to me and all my doubts Now it's when I stay or I get out There's a train every 2: 15 It's so hard to leave my hometown world I try to be a hometown girl But in a car in the high school parking lot, I know, just gotta go can't turn around, I'm not.
